    Is there a way to include audio files in your signature... I need that file for mine!
     
  16. Evc31680

    Evc31680 Lou Ten-Ten

    I dont think so, since you cant even have sig images, I doubt audio would work :(

    Perhaps I'll try linking to a file on my website...? Someone will have to click on it of course.

    My son is smart, he doesn't give himself enough credit. He really just needs a little motivation. It just takes him a little more time to get started! :)

    It was the middle of winter when I joined MG. I had my computer desk in front of the picture window at that time. There was a really bad draft coming in and it was minus forty again so that's how I picked my user name.

    Sounds like a person that needs the right opportunity to come his way and he'll do wonderfully. Unfortunately in these days, you're competing in a job search against many many more people than you would have 15 years ago because of the ease of communication in the internet age. Millions of people put their resumes online. :(

    Sgt. Tibbs was my cat who died a few years ago. I still have his brother, Felix, to which I add "4067" (my house number) and have a user name on other sites that always means me (I've re-met a few friends that way). :)

    You're right and also there's a lot of people out there who know computers well also! It's just like lawyers- there's a lot of them out there also. A LOT of competition!

    May as well give StarBow1er another post to respond to ;)

    My screen name was created for computer forums when I started building and learning about computers. At the time, my philosophy was "the more you pay, the better your rig." Hence Moyupae-- just condenced the first half and spelled it in a more confusing manner! Most people just shorten it to Moy. Anyway, I realize now that while unlimited funds will get you better parts, there is still a lot of tweaking and finesse to making a computer that lives up to its potential.

    Evc31680 Lou Ten-Ten

    From left to right:

    ICQ, AIM, MSN, Yahoo

    They are chat programs, and the more that show, that means that person has that program
     
  39. Sgt. Tibbs

    Sgt. Tibbs Ultra Geek

    Or, rather, that they have those programs and don't care if random people use them to contact them at all hours of the day or night. ;) I've got them all, but I choose not to share them with people I don't know as a rule.

    I can't remember why I picked theefool. Mostly it seems that some may not really believe what the court fool may say.

    Anway, I've had this nick/handle since 1980. BBS and computer building/programming.

  49. Phantom

    Phantom Brigadier Britches

    My user name origins ~ I think you can guess. It's just been around for a long time, and I suppose I'm here, but not here most of the time - kinda phantom-like. I used to read the Phantom books and mags occasionally as a kid. Anyway it's simple, and easy to remember.

    Now the "Brigadier Britches" title under the name better ask Kodo and Star about that, ROFL! ;)


    (Yep, I'm another strange, computer-tech creature!)
