Worth a play, try turning on the auto-pilot feature...

Incredibly useless me, I know, but what 'auto-pilot feature'? I didn't spot one.

Didn't we always know it?! Palimpsest = unique 8)

The auto pilot feature is in the options menu towards the top right of the screen. it chooses seemingly random paths of words...excellent. Good spot, Skanky!!

Palimpsest is unique, it has to be said, and also remarkably unpopular, at the moment :cry: . Amner's publicity machine is rolling though, so you never know... :D

:( I just think not so many people have as much time for mooching around at the computer as we seem to have :wink: . Are you able to work out how many 'lurkers' we have? I lurked at many sites before I decided to join properly.

The Palimpsest Roadshow Summer 2003 is about to roll into LA.

Trust me, people will be registering and then not contributing in their hundreds.

Actually, you'd think Anthea Turner'd be on here, wouldn't you? It's not as if she has anything else to do with her days (yes, I watched Tabloid Tales last night).

Well, we watched 'Bugsy Malone'.

Same goes for Scott Baio, then. I mean what does he do all day these days?

he could be on here keeping us amused with witty anecdotes about Jodie Foster and Alan Parker.

Ah yes, a better conection would be that Anthea could chat to Mark Curry who was also a Blue Peter presenter and 'starred' as the silent movie director in Blowsy Brown's dream sequence. Or Dexter Fletcher's first screen role. What an excellent film 8)

Blimey! Good cross reference!

I saw Mark Curry on Alexandra Palace station once.

Haven't been able to get near the telly for days because my daughter wants to watch it over and over on video... No bad thing, really.

You have started a search, yeah? If so there's some very small button-like menus at the very top of the pop-up window. Above the display... :?:

Thank you kindly, Skanky - I finally sorted it. Weird though and a bit panic-inducing.
