| 83763 | 2002-09-27 10:32:00 | Metagrobolize.........To puzzle or mystify. ?:| Now! I reckon that this word sums up the very essence of Press F1 and should be introduced into common usage. It is one helluva useful slice of etymological art. ;\ Examples: I've got a metagrobolizing problem with my 386sx25 pc. It has a 200 MB HD and 4MB of ram but I can't get it to install XP-Pro over WFWG 3.11 Or: I'm thoroughly metagrobolized by Susan B's ability to be on line to Press F1 24/7 , go to work, look after my meds, and still keep body and soul together with her family. I suspect she is beta testing a new wearable PC that can operate via brain impulses and post replies to F1 while she is sound asleep. ]:) Cheers Billy 8-{) :D :D :D |

| 83764 | 2002-09-27 12:12:00 | Has this got something to do with impossible disproportionate scale per chance?? | Chris Wilson (431) | ||
| 83765 | 2002-09-28 02:31:00 | I dunno Chris ?:| You kinda lost me there. I was thinking more of the palpably perplexing and paradoxical problems inflicted on our collective psyche by the PC.:_| Of course, I was only being pawky! ;\ ;) Cheers Billy 8-{) :D :D |

| 83766 | 2002-09-28 02:47:00 | Ummm .... shouldn't it be spelt "Metagrobolise" ?? | antmannz (28) | ||
| 83767 | 2002-09-28 02:48:00 | Who cares about spelling, I can't even say the thing :p | Chilling_Silence (9) | ||
| 83768 | 2002-09-28 03:34:00 | Hi antmannz It depends on whether you want the UK or US variant I guess. Normally I change z's to s's when transcribing US text, but in keeping with the official Billy T's code of practice for WFTWE I leave the original spelling as-is to allow doubters to make their own checks just to prove I'm not making up words to suit myself. Cheers Billy 8-{) :D :D |

| 83769 | 2002-09-28 03:45:00 | Your first Example is easily solved. Just add a 2MB memory card in an ISA slot to get 6MB. Then you can install linux and W3.11. (I've got one like that ... on a 40MB disk. :D | Graham L (2) | ||
| 83770 | 2002-09-28 04:21:00 | Nice one Graham L, Now, lets see if you can solve the Susan B one... Its had me stumped for weeks on end! | Chilling_Silence (9) | ||
