Hi,

I just popped into chat to say hello, but my ANCIENT system doesn't allow me to move my cursor where it needs to go. I did see everyone's greetings, Thank you... nice to meet you too I was not being rude or shy, i just wanted to let you know.

When was the last time you updated your Flash, which is what the chat uses? Actually, if you have the RAM, you should be trying to keep all your software current to protect you from various Internet attacks on your computer that exploit on bugs in old software.

Your Flash and your Java are in the Control Panel of Windows-based machines. They have their own update processes.

Hope this helps get you to where you can join us. I saw you last night and was wondering why you didn't speak up. Oh, on a side note, when the mouse isn't moving, the tab key and others are your substitute for moving about a Windows screen and web pages.

Hope this helps.

Hi Davita,

Thank you very much for taking the time to write.

The device I'm using is a thin client network appliance that isn't user upgradeable. When available, upgrades are downloaded by the service provider. There hasn't been an upgrade in a long time nor will there be any more forthcoming. Flash isn't upgradeable at all. I was aware of these deficiencies but thought I would try chat anyway... no dice.

As it is, it's good enough for basic needs; email and limited participation in a few forums...

I have an Apple laptop that I use for music(protools) but i never take it online. When my appliance goes kaput(could be any day now) I'll get something new for the net. Frankly I'm not looking forward to all the headaches that will come along with that...<smile>

Thanks Again

P.S. Why did I say dinosaur? (This is just an opinion and not intended to be adversarial) Although I have several "piles of chips & plastic" that have 88 keys attached to them and other assorted mega sample "toys", none of them comes close to the performance of my Steinway B, and that technology reached it's peak about 100 years ago.

Hiya Cecillia, nice to 'meet' you in here

I totally feel your pain. If or when you do upgrade the abacus, don't try and rely on an iPad ( no flash) or a smartphone. My smartphone has flash but it goes all mental in chatrooms for some reason?

Oh gawd listen to me? Waah waah, cos my telephone won't allow CHAT unless, heaven forbid, I actually make a phone call with it?!? Hahahahaha. I think I've only made three calls on it in a year...
