Bless you Kitty!! Thank you for getting me back home!!! Maurice..Thank you for the 4th excitement ........ So glad to see so many of our family back here where we all belong!!! Larry ..The Starfish story has always been one of my favorites.... Cu later ....Hugs and Smiles ...Jackie

Hi, Sandy, I don't know how much different your 620 is from mine as far as reinking. Do you just refill the tank? Where do you get your ink, etc. Would appreciate any help. I got the Canon because several people seemed to have a relatively easy time reinking! Do you have the "photo" cartridge and do you refill that?

Well, I'm throwing in the towel. So go ahead, call me a coward; it does not matter anymore. I have given all this mess quite a few days already, and things are just getting worse. I can't get to Michael's home anymore. Frank, even with your instructions, I can't get back into your new place although I registered with the company a couple of days ago. In addition, the live chat rooms are not for me; the pace is too fast for me. There just is no time to think. Wishing you all the best....Helga=^..^=

Sally, I'm sure Larry (our reinking King) Can give you the information on reinking your HP 722 (I think that's you're printer) He's given a lot of us here great information on reinking. I have a Canon 620 and have been reinking for several months now with no problems. I love the money I save and am not always running out to buy cartridges. I was scared silly at first but now almost feel like a pro. I actually think that my friend Juanita is really close to reinking her cartridges, aren't you Juan. I'll get you to post here one way or another. Sandi

Hi Eleanor I also have PSP5. Upgraded directly from Jasc Software For $40. I love it. You can do a lot with this program and I use it all of the time. It seems like everytime I use it I learn something new. I'll have to check out the site for add ons. I also have several sites bookmarked that have some fantastic tutorials if you would like them, let me know. Juanita, it is I from Cow Town USA, and I think you are much better at talking than I :-) You just need to learn how to talk and type at the same time girl!! And no, no nap today. Grandkids were here and who needs sleep when you can play with them instead? I'm sure I'll be feeling it tonight. Sandi

Hello to all, I'm glad to have found my way back thanks to Kitty. Larry it is rainy, rainy, rainy. Last weekend we had 4 inches of rain in 24hr. Highly unusual for here, a 75 year record and many people had water in the ba#$%!t and now while they are all still soggy it is raining again with a possible 2inches forecast. Wish we could send it to Florida. Have been to Disney World several times and just loved it and the area, So sad to see all of the fires. Have a great day. Arlene

Sally, did you check Michael Goldbergs web page? He has a lot about reinking and may have something on there. I just got a Canon 4550, but didn't see anything there about mine.

I have posted twice about re-inking my HP 722 and still no response....I could do as yopu say and just go for it but I really don't want to ruin my printer...I am pretty handy but I am also pretty clumsy. You know of anyone with the same printer?

Eleanor, where did you get PSP5 at that price? Was it Win or Mac? Did it come in Mac? I bought & loaded Virtual PC trying to use Win PMG, bought Win PMG and the darn thing won't let me use the two Art CD's. I'm getting really frustrated. I bought the PMG for my Mac and have had problems with it also! Maybe PSP will work, as PS Deluxe seems to work well, but does not have the graphics of PMG!

If everyone wants to see Larry's sock, it's on MTV in a Sock Hop. This is really like the old chat room, isn't it? I was beginning to feel like the actor on Network who said something like"I've had it and I won't take anymore" Well, you remember the exact words,I'm sure. I had one happy thing happen. My IS didn't cut me off and I was still on line when I got back. Maybe things are looking up?? Cheers, Bev and Shug

Hi, all. Sounds like everyone had a good 4th!Thanks Kitty, for the link! I thought this one was down completely too! I was bound and determined to "make do" with the "new" chat, but it's so much work! Maybe, the "powers that be" will check here and find out that they should keep this one too!!!

Oh by the way Larry, My socks are passionately "Red, White & Blue" Sharon**

Helloooo Everybodieeee. Wow Kitty I never realized that everyone couldn't get back in. I thought they just gave up on us here. I have set up a live chat at the same place as Franks. Not a message board but just for chit-chat. When everyone leaves it all goes away. That way it's private from all the known chats like yahoo and others but we can all get in. We also won't clutter up the message board with stuff that is just chit. Wellllll not too much anyway. E-mail me at the address above if your interested and I'll send the address.. It's Looooooong. I'm off to church be back soon. Sharon** In Ak...

Larry, Sandi said she saw your sock in the “new chat room”—well I did too, but sorry to say it did not look too good, a very unhappy sock IMO. It was curled up in a ball in the corner and it was very soggy—I think it had been crying. I tried to get it to bring it back here, but it ran away. The last I saw of it, it was running from room to room like it didn’t know where to go. There was a string of people behind it, so maybe someone will be able to catch it and bring it back here for you. Good luck. Donna

A while ago I left a message on one of the boards(?) asking about PSP5. It was such a good price($52 as opposed to the original $99),I decided to go ahead and get it since there were no responses. That could have been because my message was buried somewhere in the "maze".... Have been working with it for a few hours yesterday and a little today. So far, have found it very user-friendly when altering images. There is ton more to learn but I like that as long as there is a manual to read and they include two, one for regular image editing and one for the animation -- that should be interesting! If any of you have this, you can download, for free, additional files (tubes) from the Web. I got mine at the ZDNet.com site from the Search at the Graphics Download page. Just type in Print Shop Pro and there is a whole page of different versions....the add-ons are for PSP5 and you can readily see which it is. Back to work, will check in later to see if we are still here..... Eleanor

It's hot enough to fry eggs on the sidewalk and cool enough to mow grass in the shade. We had Maurice's rain Friday. Check with you all later after washing off and feeding the cat. ~:-)and =^**^=

Hi again Doreen, and can relate to parental athletic support. Our oldest son played football all through grade and high school and even earned a full college scholarship, which paid for his 5 year college education. I played Wing and Center in hockey, WAS pretty fast (LOL)….Eleanor, glad to see you back and great posting about AOL. It is sure great to see folks "helping" each other again instead of trying to "find" each other……Bev, welcome back friend and how are you and the weather in Danville?……Larry

Hi, all. Just checked back in and it is like old times. Almost everyone has been here. Hooray! Hi, Larry thanks for the prices, Maurice, have fun in the rain, send some to our friends in Florida, I keep trying to but Ohio wants to keep its storms. Welcome to the newbies and hi to the rest. I'm hoping they forget about the week. luv debb

Thanks for the welcome back Larry. I have had PM since PM1. Gone up to and including 3 and 4. I even got one of the regulars here from Cow Town hooked on the program and the chat. She just happens to be more verbal than I am.(Ha) It was very difficult for me and for all of us it seems, to break that habit of logging on each day to see what was new with everyone. I am so greatful to all of you for your help even tho you were not aware of your doing so. Thanks. I'll try to contribute more in the future(if there is one) Till later, Juanita

You're all here and not lost in cyberspace!! Is this Xmas or what?? I am so glad and relieved even tho my right knee hurts from jumping in the air and trying to c#$%!y heels! I can't tell everyone hello for I can't remember all the names, but I have to make one comment to Maurice. You aren't just walking in the rain in my imagination. You are singing, dancing, then walking in the rain. You and Gene Kelly! luv you all Bev and Shug

Eleanor, thanks so much. I shall e-mail him your instructions right away. I knew somebody would have the answer. Helen

Sally, I would love to have the "Signers of the Declaration of Independence"....thought I had left you a message, maybe not, or it might not have gone through.About this Chat, they did tell us a week, sure hope they didn't mean it -- if they do, I think the Message Board idea on the other one might work but it is still one of the poorest alternatives I could ever have imagined that is happening over there. Like many of you, I gave it a really good chance but will only go there occasionally -- not like here, where the atmosphere is friendly and open. No Contest, Mindscape people....Please, if you are reading, LISTEN TO US!!!

It's so nice to see so many people back here. Thanks for the good wishes, Larry. We always like to think the fireworks are just for us. Ha. It would be fun to use instant messinger for a group chat. There is never a time that would suit everyone, but perhaps several designated times/days? This is the best chat. Helen

I just spent the last several minutes reading threw the previous posts. Can't tell you how good it feels to be back HOME. Larry, Mike is napping right now, which is what I should be doing as I have to work tonight. I'm almost afraid to log off for fear that this GREAT ROOM will not be here when I get back. Does anyone have an idea how long before they pull the plug on it? Oh by the way Larry, I saw your sock in the "New & Improved" (ha ha) room. It's getting kicked all over the place there as people are scrambling around trying to figure out where the heck they're at. You're gonna have to go get it yourself tho cuz now that I'm here I'm not going back there :-) Or you could go sockless. Good to be back. Sandi

Helen, Your friend should go toWindows Explorer, then find the AOL file, then the Download in that file, where it should be unless he designated some other file. He should see the name of the file that you sent him and be able to double c l i c k on it to retrieve it. If he saved it elsewhere, just go that file and do the same thing. There is a good tutorial on Downloading in the AOL Mail page. Eleanor

Larry, it's only one child playing hockey couldn't support hockey if I had two of them.... Hockey has taken us all over the country and all parts of Canada but I must admit we have never made it to Denver to play!!!! We were in Ottawa for the week, we have been there the last 4 years for Canada day, have even been to Edmonton to play in that big Mall and Minnisota Mall of America all in the name of HOCKEY!!! My son is well traveled when it comes to hockey. What position did you play? Well have to run off to Comp USA to check out the goodies Doreen

I didn't know if it went or not I got an error message but I was to tired to try again. hope it came through for you. I got one that was all black.

Morning Bill, to get rid of the opening movie just open your PrintMaster folder, then open the User001 folder. Find the User.ini file and double click it and there will be several configuration settings. Find the one that says ShowMovie=1 . Change the #1 to #0. When you close it, save the changes, and the next time you open PM it will go straight to the main screen. Enjoy…..Larry

Morning teddybear, and we are anxiously awaiting your web site address so we can see your new house, BTW have you possible seen a white sock with a small blue and red logo?(VBG)…….Donna,Mayre, Michelle, thank you for the 4th card, you guys are so talented......Peanut, good morning to you and welcome to the BEST PM site on the net….. Doreen, how are the kids doing with their hockey matches, once played as a kid growing up in a city the hills west of Denver called Idaho Springs……. Hi debb, how have you been and glad to hear that THIS style forum help you as a newbie…… Kitty, thank you for the 4th card and GREAT idea of using Internet Messenger and will just have to find a time for all to meet…. Kathy, welcome to the BETTER PM chat forum…… Michelle, welcome BACK friend and our congratulations to your daughter and wish her the best…Hi Pat and Bill, glad to see you!…..Peter, happy to see you posting again friend and how are the vacation plans coming and where are we going… Arlene, how is the weather today in Canada and how are you?……Helga, thanks again for the 4th card, quotes and welcome back friend…….Maurice, hi again friend and glad to hear you got some much needed rain. I loved the jokes, "fireworks", and thank you for including me….Sandi, hello again and say hi to Mike for us…. Juanita, lurking or chatting, welcome back. What version PM do you have and what are you doing with it?…..

Well, I'm glad that we can have this place for this long, as long as it remains I will keep comming back but I am sure glad that others are working on a more sure thing. I hope we can find a more permanant home, where we will be able to know the light is on............. For any who haven't been recieving the posts about this room, if you want on my email list then send an email message to the edress above, and mention PM in the subject line or body of the Letter.

Just heard the good news, that "we're back". I usually just lurk, but have learned lots, keep up the great work.

Hi friends, I need some information on downloading using aol. I don’t have aol, but a friend does. Here’s the situation: I forwarded the jokes from Sandi to him. He received the jokes but doesn’t know how to download to view them. Are there special steps I can tell him? This is what I know about his setup. He just started using aol 4.0 and his navigator is 3.02. There is always the chance I forwarded incorrectly, I guess. All I did was forward like a regular text message. Is that correct? I have never sent a message with an attachment or anything other than text in the body of the message. I appreciate all info. I am posting this to the old board and the new help board. Thanks. Helen

Good morning all, I hope you all had a nice Independence Day with friends and family. Mother Nature (or is it Mexico?) sent us a nice present here in the desert: Rain for two days now. It had been dry for 3 months. Everybody in Tucson is elated! See you all later. Have to walk in the rain. Glorious! Maurice.

Well color me HAPPY. Glad to be back!!!!!! Sandi

Sure hope this works. Hi, to everyone. Thanks Kitty for passing this information along. Would be most happy if this works :-) Sandi

Peter, thank you, I found your message but by then I was too worn out to write anything. When I was teasing you about going to Cancun with Jill, your wife, kids, and cat would have been there too. I don't think your wife would have appreciated being a bridesmaid at your own wedding. Never mind, I'm babbling again. Been doing that a lot lately. :-) I agree with you, all this wandering around is like exploring a huge castle. If you had eloped with Jill, you be in big trouble indeed. However, this time, the exploration is not by choice. Until this good old place shuts down for good, I am posting messages only here. To be prepared for the end, maybe someone can add another topic in the new place and call it "MESSAGE CENTER" where we can leave messages for others and/or make dates. I just came from there and don't want to go back. I need to go; we have a busy day ahead of us......Helga=^..^=

Did not know it posted untill Kitty told me how it was working. Sorry for the 2 posts. Anyway I'm still glad to be here. KITTY I did get Instant Messanger but now I need a buddy list of who at the chat is on it. Pat

I had not been able to find my way back here, I do appreciate the Email Kitty. Arlene

Hi Peter, Are you still here? It is so Nice to hear from you. I have been talking to a couple of the other women on instant messaging yesterday and sent out several of their "invitations" to sign up. I wonder if you could use it since you are from europe. I will lsend you one and we will find out Huh?

I forgot to say, you can post a message here. when you do it will give you an error message. This does not mean that you have not posted. It only means that it doesn't know how to send you back to the message screen. You have to do that yourself, by either hitting the back button twice or by using the bookmark you created

Hi guys, glad you made it, yes the old bookmark for this page would not work but Larry or glenn or one of them posted this URL and I saved it for when the old bookmark didn't work any more. It sure saved my sanity. I think it has helped to keep us together, if not for here a lot of us would have given up and gone home. When you get here make sure to bookmark the yellow section not the top of the page it makes it easier to read

Well, well, HEELLLOOO! This place looks familiar, have I been here before? I didn´t know that this place was still alive until I read some rumors abt. it. Glad to hear that you all seem to be in good mood and with lots of fighting spirit. Hi Helga, Maurice and others! Thought I´d got lost, did you? I´ll tell you what, that eaassily happens at that crummy place called the new chat room. Like some others have already said, I´m feeling dizzy too, jumping between different chat rooms, flying among different topics and desperately trying to find some specific posting, only to find that that person´s posting is probably somewhere else. Somehow I feel like being inside an empty and haunted castle with some 500 rooms with all doors closed, walking through spooky hallways, opening each and every door to check if somebody´s there and if something´s going on. BLAAAH! I DON´T like it and never will. I´ve tried to get used to it but failed. Will only go there when I have to, I think. Have already spent too much time there, going through all the postings. It´s taken me several hours! So, TLC has taken the same design for the new PM chat room as what PA already has, someone said. Well, then I would like to say that now I´ve found a good reason not to got to PA´s chat room either! (I have PA3).----- Helga, I posted a reply to yr message about scanners and yr latest reinking experience. You have my deepest sympathy if you haven´t found it at that crummy chat room´s labyrinths. Just wanted you to know that I have learnt that you are one colorful lady already, but didn´t have to pour ink all over yourself to prove it… --- Sally, 10$ per reinked cartridge, hmm, a good price indeed, but only for the person who sold them to you. You can get away much cheaper by reinking yourself, I think. BTW, which printer do you have? There are a lot of people among us who have been reinking, so you can count on a lot of assistance. I suggest that you get yourself a reinking kit and just start doing it. --- Ha, did you think that I had eloped to Cancun with Jill! Interesting idea, but I don´t think that my wife would like it. Could use some of the Mexican heat though, here around Stockholm the rain is pouring down. I´m starting a 3 weeks vacation now, time for family, travelling, computer and PM as well. --- Hey TLC, give me my old chat room back! Why don´t you add some TLC ----- your name brings certain obligations, you know…-----Did I hear someone say that Frank is checking out an altenative free chat room? Looking for good news there! If it´s something similar to this old cozy, friendly and charming place that is what we all need, right? Catch you guys later. Toodleooo, Peter :-)

Thankyou it feels like comming home after a long journey. Hi to all. Pm please keep this chat it's so much easier to use. Pat

Thankyou Thankyou Thankyou!!!! It feels like of come home after a long journey. Hi to all I missed you. Even if I did get to talk to some of you somehow it just seems better this way. I hope PM is watching and reading. Please give us back this room It is so much easier to use. Pat

Thankyou Thankyou Thankyou!!!! It feels like of come home after a long journey. Hi to all I missed you. Even if I did get to talk to some of you somehow it just seems better this way. I hope PM is watching and reading. Please give us back this room It is so much easier to use. Pat

Thanks Kitty, I to had deleted my old bookmark, because I got the message that the URL no longer existed. Does anyone have Tom Boys instructions for deleting the opening movie in Printmaster? I failed to copy them, and would sure like to get rid of it...Bill

When I checked my e-mail this morning and found this link from Kitty. I had deleted this from my bookmarks thinking it was a goner. Maybe the powers that be will keep it?????? How do I put in an emoticon for crossed fingers? Larry, your starfish story made me weep. Had a hectic 4th and today will be yet another. To add my small autobiography to the list: am 53, spent 18 years as an Air Force wife of a pilot, (spookys, B-52s, Jetstars and T-39s) that for Larry. Am working on my second marriage to a retired golfer/engineer (not necessarily in that order) Love the computer and PM and make all our cards thus saving us tons of money so we can spend two months of cold winter on the Costa del Sol in Spain. One lovely 25 year old daughter for me and three lovely grown children for hubby (one bride to be on August 7) Hope to see you all here when I next check in. Michelle

I just got your E-Mail with the URL for this old chat room. I thought it was closed up so have been trying to muddle my way through the new one for 2 days. Wonder how long this will last. Thanks again, Kitty. Kathy

Good Evening all, At least whom ever is around. Have been in and out all day. I haven't found anyone at home anywhere. Larry the Ford was a coupe and we don't have it anymore. My hubby wants a roadster but the house has eatten a lot of funds. Sally I'm sorry I didn't send a note of thanks for the info on the signers of the declaration. I found it interesting. When the chips are down I'm not sure our people are willing to give even half as much. Remember Viet Nam. I do and am ashamed of our country over that one. I am trying to get a web page started but I haven't got it working yet. Nothing special just a few pictures of the house and view and a chat area for just chatting. Not board style but for discussion. Mindscape I will continue to come here until you remove it. I came here first for help and then for fun. There is no other substitute...Take care all and keep in touch...Sharon** in Ak..

Fifty years from now it won't matter what my bank account was, the sort of house I lived in, or the car I drove - BUT, the world may be different because I was important in the life of one PrintMaster user....Larry...nite all.

Evening Sharon (teddybear), and let me congratulate you now for your 28th anniversary. Mary and I have been married 26, its getting better all the time. Do you still have your '32 and was it a coupe? Great car!!!!…. Myra, how are you and what have you been up to?……. Sally, $10 for a reinked cartridge is more than fair…..Eleanor, thank you for the empathy in the starfish story and thanks for keeping in touch, gave Mary a hug for you guys…… Maurice, hello again friend and you are most correct both in the habit of coming here and to continue using the BETTER PM chat room, hope you had a nice 4th……. Helen, yes the personal style of this chat room is part of what makes/made it the BEST type chat on the net, both with warmth and technical advice, BTW happy anniversary to you and Bruce…. Larry

Thanks Sally, I appreciated that, they REALLY gave their all didn't they. Fortunes, lives and sacred honor.

Well I haven't heard from you folks I sent the "Signers" to. I hope you found it interesting. Just something to think about this Holiday weekend.

Sally - I'd be interested in getting that - mbgoldberg@usa.net. Thanks. - sorry i've not been on so much - lots going on over here. michael

I'm here too

Well nobody is here either. I tried to send a letter to PM and it came back error..gee that is one way to stop complaints.

Hi all, I am on Instant Messenger as basyefeltn Put me on yours if you want

Well it is good to see some folks filtering in every now and again. I do miss this flurry of questions and fun comraderie (sp) but we won't go without a fight...we won't let the powers that be break us up. I am happy to see that we all are rtying to keep in touch whether is is here on on a list or even IM. Well TTFN. Sally

Happy Holiday, all....so good to see the "old" friends and some new still here on the Perfect Live Chat....went to Michael's when I got Sharon's e-mail. Wasn't online earlier or would have gone when they were all chatting away. So good of Michael to have that, and it is less confusing than the New Chat but still requires more manipulation than this. Maurice, we are all glad to be part of your harem, but what will Martha have to say about that?? Well, time to feed Al and then to give Max his tranquilizer for the upcoming fireworks and possible thunder storms this evening.....Have a Happy and Safe Fourth.....Eleanor.

Good morning all,wonder why some of can get here and others can't?Any one out there found the best way to regroup?Please email if you can help. Happy 4th to one and all. Myra

Hi Debb, Helen, Doreen, Kitty, Sharon, Eleanor, Daisy, Sally (Gosh, I feel like in a harem, where are all the other men?) How are you all? Happy fourth of July! Has anybody hears anything from Peter? I know Frank went to see his folks out of town for the holiday. He will be back by monday. I got e-mails from Frank and Glenn. They are doing fine, but I surmise they are just as confused as I am. What a mess! Let's not give up, though. Let's hold our family together. As the moto of my country (Belgium) says "L'union fait la force!" Loosely translated "United we are strong." Have to start BBQing. See you later in the day. Hugs! Maurice.

I just find this site again, thanks to Kirsten. I was unable to get here from my old url. have spent last few days wandering around trying to find all the wonderful people who make this chat what it is. All of the alternatives will work with a little help from the dedicated people here, but this is still the PM Chat that we love and depend on for the help we need or just the friendly faces to help us get through the days. This was the first chat room I went to back in the fall when I first got my 'puter and I still feel it is the home base. I hope the powers that be are monitering it and will reconsider. Back in the fall, as a newbie, I never would have had the knowledge, time or dedication to learn to use the new one. Would not have known how to post a question so it could be answered correctly. I am so glad to see, this here and to be able to post, I just hope more of the club finds the correct url to get here. debb

How sad that everyone is so miserable due to the recent chat line changes. Can't we all send messages to The Learning Company concerning our dissatisfaction. (They probably think that once we get accustomed to the new chat line, we will adjust.) I wonder if it is possible to print a PM card that you have received as an online greeting. It seems that there should be a way to import it into your PM program & print it out, but I have been unable to figure out how to do this.

Hi Helga I've seen Peter posted to the one list. I haven't seen him anywhere else but I did get that letter..I haven't gotten as much mail as everyone else seems to get. I have only had about 15 yesterday and today. I'll try Michaels site next. Maybe you'll be there....Sharon**

PETER, WHERE ARE YOU???? Have not seen your name around lately. Did Jill and her family take you to Cancun with them and leave the rest of us behind?? Tsk, tsk, tsk. Also, it so nice to see so many other people here tonight. Well, I better make my rounds and visit some other PM places. Bye for now, Helga=^..^=

Hi Larry, Daisy, Maurice, Sharon, Sally and all the regulars (and irregulars)? Just reading all your posts makes me long for the good old days, before July 1st. The new chat is an abomination. It takes so much time to click, scroll, read, click again ad nauseum. Stuart, if you're here, thanks for the lesson on the e-mail forum. I subscribed, but haven't sent anything yet. I have received lots of mail. Happy 4th of July to all. It's our 33rd wedding anniversary. I came to this chat at first for the help, got help, became hooked on the friendliness, and am now crying at the demise of this style of chat room. Please feel free to e-mail me anytime any of you. Most of the time I just lurk, but I will miss this place so!! Helen

I just thoght that was so funny. was thinking to myself that if any guys came around they might not join us with all the girlie talk.<LOL>

That's supposed to be Frank...S**

Hi Sally and Kitty. The chat was fun. I just got a letter from Maurice, he just got home but he said he didn't know anything about crocheting(LOL) When we plan another we should be sure to post the time zone so that people will know what time in their area. Fran just sent me an e-mail about a bullitin board but I'm not sure where...Sally please send me the story of what happen to the signers...Well gota go for sure this time..Sharon**

Sally, I would love to have the paper about the signers of the DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE Thanks. Kitty

Well so far Michael's site is working out pretty good. About 5 of us were there. I have only received one mailing from the PM@onelist whats the deal there? Well America, Happy Independence Day!!! If anyone is interested I have alittle thing on what happened to the men who signed the Declaration of Independence. Let me know and I'll e-mail it to ya.

Hi all, It almost feels like old home week except when you start reading and find so FEW of the regulars(or new ones). Please keep me informed if anyone figures out how to use this new mess.Really miss everyones great advise and humor. Best to you, Myra

Maurice, I'm with you. I have joined the new email list, but this is where we belong. I check in on the new chat maybe once every day or so and Michaels page.

Hi Maurice a friendly name....glad to see your still stopping in. I can't help but check here everytime I get on the internet some habits are hard to break...Maybe they will forget about this site and we can still go on using it. Well if I am going to dream I might as well dream big. Hope everyone has a great 4th of July... Doreen

I can't help but check here everytime I get on the internet some habits are hard to break...Maybe they will forget about this site and we can still go on using it. Well if I am going to dream I might as well dream big. Hope everyone has a great 4th of July... Doreen

If anyone is out there to read this Daisy is trying to get a time set for everyone to meet in Michaels room. We are there now. If you are interested in regular chats just e-mail and let her know...Sharon

Hi Maurice, Eleanor, and Sally, I agree whole heartedly. I think the reason this happened is because the learning company owns Print Artist and the format they use for them is the same as the new chat....I think they did it for ease for themselves. I will come here as often as I can until they erase it...Sharon**

well I guess that is it...everybody seems to have abandonded the good ole chatroom. It is 9:50 pm here.

I think that anyone who can get here should make an effort to come as often as they can. If somebody is paying attention maybe they will see that we are devoted and maybe just maybe they won't pull the plug. I just subscribed to the printmaster list at onelist..lets see how this goes. I am getting dizzy at all the different places to meet everybody. Y'all keep in touch.

Hello everybody, it is difficult to break old habits. I HAD to check in again. This has become a desert, worse than ours here in the Southwest of Arizona. At least we got rain today, for the first time in three months. On this chat room there is nothing but eree silence. Let's not give up and use it till our last breath. Let's show Mindscape that we still love this, our home for such a long time. And an easy one to manage at that. Maybe they will reconsider, if they see we are so attached to it. If we abandon it, it will give them one more reason to shut it off soon. Have a joyfull 4th of July, all. Maurice.

Hi Larry, I keep thinking that the next time I check in, it will be gone....So very glad I checked in before your message about the starfish scrolled off the board. What a beautiful and appropriate story, explains exactly how I feel. The format, the way the messages come in, and, most of all, the spontaneity there is here, is missing there. I can't see myself recommending PrintMaster to strangers in stores, as I have done on several occasions. I had always told them how great the Live Chat area was to make them feel at home. The other one will never do that. I am copying your message...thanks and we will keep in touch, there is always e-mail. Say "Hi" to Mary......Eleanor

Hello Everyone, or is there an everyone? Larry I agree with the about the new chat, I don't think it is fine either. But it might be the only way to keep in touch. I haven't had a lot of problems with PM lately. When I first started I needed a great deal of help. I guess I'm just lucky. I come here mostly for the company. My husband works off (away from home) and is gone 2 weeks at the time. All of my children are grown and have their own lives. I love the comradery that is here and would hate to lose it. I haven't been on line as much as usual but will be back when we move to the new house. I'm 46 and find the people here are very much to my liking. I just bought my first computer in Feb. I had never even put my hands on one before. The people here are willing to help with any problem that I have come across.... My husband and I went around in a 1932 Model "A" roadster coupe when we dated back in the "60's". We didn't have any problems getting anywhere we wanted to go. Unfortunately it didn't alway get us home again. We went for style instead of speed and a lot of walking.(G) We will be celebrating our 28th aniversary this year. Now you all know my life history so I guess I'll go..Sharon**

Well y'all think your young...I think I might qualify as the youngest at 24..anybody younger? I won't ask who the oldest is...if you ask me I am impressed that folks who are celebrating their 48th wedding anniverary use the computer. My grandma refuses to even use an ATM! Not sure if that came out right. If I didn't know peoples ages I would think everyone was young...alot of you are pretty spunky! Well I wonder if I'll have to keep buying cartridges...I don't think I want to trust myself in reinking without someone to give a few hints or advice. My hubby just came home yesterday with a new cartridge. He said a fells he works with buys them for ten dollars from a guy who reinks tham. Is that a good price or would it be cheaper to re-ink myself? This is getting long...think positive thoughts folks and maybe this chatroom will stay!!!

Just found message I posted the other day and Larrys reply. Been gone for a while ad my computer had a virus. When I got back it sounded like everything hit the fan. Still very confusing but hopefully all of you will put your heads together and come up with solution. You don't suppose PM would just go back to the old way do you? Naaaaaaa! Best to everyone.

Hi Kitty, If you drop by here today just wanted to say Hi. Hope everything is going better. Peanut

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!!! to everyone. Bye for now, Helga=^..^=

Right on, Bruce! I could not have said it better myself....Helga=^..^=

Hi all the new chat could work just like this one if people whould learn how to use it. the trick is to respond to the first messageONLY. if you respond to any other message it will post your message directly below the message you responded to. the easy way to do the responding is to click on icon" top of page" it will take you to the top of the listings of messages then click on the first listing it will take you to the first message then click on reply to post your message. you con go direct to any message from the message list just by clicking on it. if people would start doing this then the last message posted would always be at the bottom just the reverse of this chat room

An old man was walking along the beach with his grandson. His grandson picked up each starfish they passed and threw it back into the sea. "If I leave them up here," he said, "they would dry up and die. I'm saving their lives." "but," protested the old man, "the beach goes on for miles, and there are millions of starfish. What you are doing won't make any difference." The boy looked at the starfish in his hand, gently threw it into the ocean, and answered: "It makes a difference to this one."……..Thank you PM Chat "folks in charge," THIS style chat room makes a difference to this one>…..Larry

Hello, Seeing everyones ages makes me feel like a baby at age 32! Hope everyone has a great and safe 4th! Must go weed the garden and do some work since significant other has the day off and he has already commented on my computer addiction. Adios Amigos/Amigas! Peanut

You can have a chat room without talent and warmth and you can have talent and warmth without a chat room, but things really start happening when you have a chat room combined with talent and warmth!…..Larry in Sunny CA

Morning Stuart, and that is one nice (and fast) RX-7 you have there. How fast do you have to go to feel the effects of the rear spoiler?…… Sharon, I can find NOTHING that is fine with the new board and see it as trouble both for folks and newbies. Don't think their "tech support" is handling things as well as we did and I know not with the same warmth. with. BTW, would you have seen one white with blue strip sock in the new room or anywhere? LMAO………….Hi Eleanor, welcome back and congratulations on your 48th anniversary now. I doubt that there will be any remnant of this room by then. Stay well and have a safe and happy 4th…. Sally have a safe and sane holiday and say hi to the other half for me. ….Larry

Well, after Stuart replied to my last e-mail, I discovered that the old "gem" was still here. Have really enjoyed reading the posts here this morning even if I feel like the "Mom" when seeing what your ages are. Had figured Larry for close to my oldest son's age.Tom is 46 next month,then there's David, 43 and Steve, 39. My husband's first car was a very pretty green'41 Chevy with a spotlight and a metal visor at the top of the windshield (had been his father's) They stopped making cars for a few years during WWII, so that was a prized possession, had it when I met him in '48--sure wish we had it now, would be worth a LOT! Certainly didn't ever think then that we would be driving around in a Japanese car now! We met just after Al had come out of the Navy. He went in right after high school, the war was over shortly after that. They did two year enlistments at the time. And now, here we are, with our 48th anniversary coming up in August. Now, back to the PM Chat...I have grown increasingly irritated with the new one, maybe need a break but can't see how it even comes close to this. Nice to have been here, hope they let it here for a while, maybe even some miracle will happen and they'll switch back. Happy 4th to all.....Eleanor

I am surprised too. I hope they don't know it is still here. I will truley be upset. I don't know how to get help on that other chatroom it looks confusing. Well now it looks like I am the only one here. Good night Sharon, see you tomorrow
