  Re: Yet Another torso sticker question
 
(...) He probably did. I don't know that there are very many printers at all today which aren't dot matrix printers. My HP 660Cse certainly is. My TI Microlaser certainly was. Of course not very many people today use printers which put the dots on (...) (23 years ago, 24-May-01, to lugnet.build.minifigs, lugnet.off-topic.geek)

  Re: Windows opening graphic?
 
(...) 320x400, I think. But not at a 4:3 ratio -- the pixels are very rectangular. (23 years ago, 22-May-01, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

(...) IIRC, and I havn't played with it in years... look for logo.sys in your c:\ directory... I think it's a 320x240 bitmap.... :) Dan (23 years ago, 22-May-01, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Windows opening graphic?
 
Recently I downloaded and installed a Simpsons desktop theme, and in the process I changed the opening image on my PC from the Windows default logo to a frankly rather lame Simpsons graphic. Subsequently it has resisted my casual attempts to undo it (...) (23 years ago, 22-May-01, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Why halftracks?
 
(...) This part wouldn't surprise me-- a full-track tank tends to tear up asphalt when it turns with its huge tracks running the full length of the vehicle and running them at different rates. A half-track would get you some of the benefits of (...) (23 years ago, 21-May-01, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

  Re: LEGO Inspired Fonts For Macintosh And Windows
 
(...) I think any website that screws with my browser(resizing, forced pop-ups, etc.) must be destroyed. I "X"ed my window by accident trying to reset my window to full screen.

  Re: LEGO Inspired Fonts For Macintosh And Windows
 
To begin with, let me say a public apology to Larry for my last post. It was uncalled for in a public forum, and a private apology has been sent. Now, I have seen some excellent and not so excellent points here, but what James writes strikes me as (...) (23 years ago, 19-May-01, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: LEGO Inspired Fonts For Macintosh And Windows
 
(...) Yes, which is why it's so easy for me to leave and not come back once I realize a site is monkeying with my browser settings. I went and looked at your site. Wonderful fonts! Those are just toooo coool. I think they'd be great to make graphics (...) (23 years ago, 18-May-01, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: LEGO Inspired Fonts For Macintosh And Windows
 
(...) Personally, I made a conscious decision to check out your site out of interest and support for a fellow AFOL. Its a trust relationship between developer and user. You abuse my trust when you invite me into your domain and then monkey with my (...) (23 years ago, 18-May-01, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: LEGO Inspired Fonts For Macintosh And Windows

  Re: LEGO Inspired Fonts For Macintosh And Windows
 
(...) Should, or shouldn't dictate? My view is that you can suggest, but should design for the ability to fit into the window the user is using (within reason, 200x300 may be a bit confining) and for resizability (23 years ago, 18-May-01, to lugnet.off-topic.geek, lugnet.publish.html)
