| 61722 | 2002-07-11 11:30:00 | In NZPCWorld July 2002, Rob Clarke, in answer to a qyery from Steve Oris, suggested downloading a Win98 Shutdown supplement from <www.microsoft.com >, but this page does not seem to be accessible anymore. Attempts to open it lead to Win98 downloads or updates with no clear sign of the "Shutdown Supplement " mentioned by Rob. Would you please suggest where else such a file can be obtained ? roygretn |

If you click on the link, you get to a "page not found" At this stage look in the address bar at the dodgy link and edit out the "%20" (no quotes) towards the end, click go and you do get there. Just tried it |

| 61725 | 2002-07-11 12:18:00 | Hi God Is it my eyesight, or is that corruption not %20 (percentage 20). I've frequently found that % looks like 96 in some web fonts. Doesn't make any difference to fixing the link, but I'm a curious bugger! Cheers Billy 8-{) :D |

| 61726 | 2002-07-11 20:29:00 | Hi Billy Yes its %20, which is HTML for Hex 20, which is an ASCII space, or character decimal 32... We won't start a thread about your eyesight, or the cause... |

| 61728 | 2002-07-12 00:26:00 | Now Now Susan! Speculation on the reasons for my poor eyesight will only lead to unrestrained ribaldry and general off-topic naughtiness. I might then be forced to respond in kind and where would that lead us I ask? I fear we have already scared (driven?) off one humourless F1'er who didn't like the general air of familiarity. In a previous life he might have found a vocation in one of Dickens' works. Bah Humbug :( :( Billy 8-{) :D :D |

| 61729 | 2002-07-12 00:50:00 | *huge sigh* Yes, you're right Billy, as you always are. Oh well, I'll just have to help myself to some of your meds and go crawl back under my rock on my own. :-( :_| |

| 61731 | 2002-07-12 07:03:00 | Oh dear . . . . . . . . . Why do I have this feeling that this thread has started to develop a life of its own? What has this got to do with Win98 shutdowns? I ask myself . Now the acuity of my eyesight is in dispute (sadly undisputed, denial would be futile) but now do we start analysing the rest of my shortcomings? I thought that was why I got married! My father always said I should get married one day: "You can't expect to be happy all your life" he told me . Oh God! Now look what's happened, I've started talking to myself . Okay Billy, get a grip on yourself! No not like that, you'll make your eyesight even worse . Deep breaths, steady now, I think I'll go sort out a Word for the Weekend . That will keep my mind off things, or on things, or . . . . . . . . C'mon Susan . . . . . . Hurry up with the meds . Bi96y I-[) |
