my bookie must read this board.

[ed healey]

I asked my bookie if hes ready to take my usual $10 on carlton for next years spoon and he said if i make it $20 he,ll give me 100/1.
So 20 it is.
the thought of the demise of the blooooooos and 2000 as a bonus will get me thru the summer nicely.

By the way does anyone here know how to let me keep a site down below to use later without it disappering when i open another site.
if you know what i mean.
im a bit of a computer duffer as a lot of us older blokes are,and i have all the sites on desktop and when i read one and click minus to keep for later and go to desktop to open another the one i have down below disappears.
pisses me off a tad and i have to use up too many megs to get it back again later.
bring on the cricket,its just not footy without the pies in it.

100 to 1 - nope, I reckon with the condition that Freo and the Saints are in I'd need 500 to 1 - but I understand the need for the bet

When you click on a link to go to a new site, use your right mouse button and then choose 'Open in New Window' and a new browser window will open leaving your old one alone. If you want to type a new url: go to File on the menu and choose "New' and then 'Window' and you'll get a second window to use for the new site.

thanks Mike
the new and then window does the trick.
it duplicates the page already open and then only one of them disappears.
but the right click bit doesnt work as new window doesnt get a mention.
ive got windows 95.
thanks tho,how come you are my vintage and know about computers.?

[Mike]

I've been working with computers since I was a teenager. Built my first PC in 1976 (still got it), 5 years before IBM.

[AlfAndrews]

By my calculations, anyone who's been building computers since 1976 should be multi-trillionaire by now.

So, Mike ... could you possibly spare a couple of million bucks for a fellow Collingwood supporter who's down on his luck?

I'll happily give you everything I have Alf, but I suggest you bone up on debt management before we make the transfer.

Unfortunately I am disabled, I was born without the ability to turn my immense talents into wealth.

[AlfAndrews]

Alas. I think I have the same disability, Mike. How can a person so overflowing with sheer genius as myself be so fiscally challenged.
