It seems that a terrible fate has befallen our President

Whoha · October 20, 2003, 23:23

and I move that I be elected Vice President to carry on his duties when he is unable to.

The choices are:
Yes
Please Torture me and kill my family
Banana

Given that the pace is not exactly fast, why not give Harry two more days? Do we not have someone designated to step up? If not we should have. So I am not opposed to it.

Whoha · October 21, 2003, 00:39

Sure, the poll will be open for a week, and if Harry hasn't shown up by then we can see where to go from there.

OK, we'll wait some more time - but we can add to our constitution that if the president does not appear for 5(?) days then the vise president is free to carry on the president's duties. I agree that Whoha is eligible for a vice president, so I vote "yes" :-)

Gilgamensch · October 21, 2003, 09:25

Sounds good for me............

Gilgamensch · October 21, 2003, 09:28

Forgotten to mention: Let's maybe wait till the weekend...........

Harry Seldon · October 21, 2003, 09:58

I'm having a terrible time of this. I can't do this office justice right now. This will probably be the last time I'll be on because my company is killing internet access and I don't have time to connect at home. At least you guys kept going; I was worried that nobody'd take control. Therefore, as my last act in office, I'd like to nominate Whoha for President.

I'll be back when I can.

vmxa1 · October 21, 2003, 11:43

I guess that makes it offical. Gilgamensch do you want to be VP?

Gilgamensch · October 21, 2003, 12:07

quite OK for me

allthough be warned, sometimes I am struck with RL and have to travel

But I normally know a few hours before

........

Whoha · October 21, 2003, 13:04

Ok, Ill take over from the 25 turn save at about 5:00 today and continue to turn 50, I will keep the Former president's research selection, though I will likely give an upper class tax cut for the wealthy.

Gilgamensch · October 21, 2003, 14:10

Whoha,

you think you'll be able to post some screen-shots?

And welcome dear President

Whoha · October 21, 2003, 14:30

I'll have to find the screen shot program.

Gilgamensch · October 21, 2003, 14:34

Normally what shall work:

Press CTRL + Print Screen and it shall be in the windows buffer.
Open i.e. Photo editor and paste as new image. Save this to your HD and when you post attach it with the option: Attach file.

that shall be it..............

Old n Slow · October 21, 2003, 15:13

Strong temptation for Banana -- just to be different.

Harry, hurry back when you can.

Harry, hope to see you back soon...........

Whoha · October 21, 2003, 18:11

My comp can't do screenshots, unless someone can find that program, right now I get large black boxes from printscreen and paste.

Gilgamensch · October 22, 2003, 11:31

you are sure you are using CTRL + Print Screen? You might have to use ALT-Print Screen.........

I think I already used it..........

vmxa1 · October 22, 2003, 12:44

Alt Prt works in XP. You can them paste it into what ever tool you like, Irfanview, Photoshop, Paint.......

Whoha · October 22, 2003, 13:35

I have windows 98, ctrl+printscreen doesn't work, printscreen does but the picture is messed up. If you can find the link to the program that will take screenshots from moo2 ill use that.

vmxa1 · October 22, 2003, 14:16

Ok, I will fire up my Win98 PC and see if can get screens, I can't remember.

vmxa1 · October 22, 2003, 15:03

I knew I had figured out something, but could not rememebr how or what. I fired up the ole PIV-1.7GH with Win98SE.
It still have my HyperSnap 4 running, I have version 5 on XP now.
Anyway, I found the Capture function. In that select Enable Special ...., then check the Direct X 3D.
Now minimize HyperSnap. Start Moo2 and at any screen hit the Scroll Lock key and hear the camera snap a picture.
You can then do what ever you want to the pic. I saved it as a JPEG and copied it to a floppy. I needed to bring it to my Web connected PC and here it is:

vmxa1 · October 22, 2003, 15:05

I think they have a 30 day trial, I have a full lics, so I am not sure what is disabled in the trial version.

Now don't say I never done anything for you.

vmxa1 · October 22, 2003, 15:08

I just tested it with version 5 on XP and it works. The ALT PRT makes a discolored picture for me.

vmxa1 · October 22, 2003, 15:14

Lets see what 800 looks like:

vmxa1 · October 22, 2003, 15:18

Ok, it looks like it is easier to see. I think HyperSnap can make the image anything you want, but I happened to use Irfanview to resize this one to 800. It is free at:

Whoha · October 22, 2003, 17:48

ok, got them both, ill set up hypersnap when the next term starts.
