when you answer these types of question in the bloody Lounge, you encourage more of this.
|
|
|
|
|
It's not exactly a programming question. It's no different really than The Lounge[^] or The Lounge[^].
(And it's not even like there's an Excel CP forum to ask it in)

I actually don't care, personally.
However new members come here all the time in the Lounge and they get scorched, burned, and sometimes humiliated by other members on the site for even attempting to ask a technical (not programming) or programming question.
However, existing, and sometimes veteran members get away with it here, because of course, why the bloody hell not.
Excel questions are a technical question, and they belong in Q and A and not in the Lounge.

Out of genuine curiosity, and no intent to be obtuse, which forum would you suggest? I've been here over 13 years but wouldn't know where to ask an Excel question... Doesn't fit in any of the other places I can see, and if I were to ask this question in (say) General Programming / COM I'd get told to move it elsewhere as it's not COM; it's not VBA, it's not database etc.. etc.. Even the forums list page[^] doesn't mention either Excel or Spreadsheets
|

|

there is no forum for excel.
no forum
that is what Q & A is for: https://www.codeproject.com/Questions/ask.aspx[^]
My entire point in all of this is that if we allow the OP to post excel questions in the Lounge, then we need Chris to change the rules for the Lounge and let ALL users ask technical and programming questions in the Lounge. It's that simple.

Those were the days... I had pretty much every AUTOEXEC.BAT & CONFIG.SYS command memorized. I felt like a wizard! Friends, family or neighbors would call with a problem ( ), I'd show up, open those two files, make wholesale tweaks and reboot. Voila!
Until they installed the next piece of crappy software and the process repeated. x 2.

I remember the sounds in the days Before Sound-Blaster.
I also remember the fun and games tuning AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS to get mouse and SB loaded and still have enough ram left to play the game ... I forget how many different boot floppies I had, but it was most of a box.

There's not much in terms of SoundBlaster predecessors, except maybe for the Adlib. I remember Sierra's magazine used to promote it rather heavily and I spent...well, I don't remember exactly how much, but it was a lot of money even back then for what you got, especially considering I was still in school. It improved their games a lot, but still, in hindsight...eeeek.

Yep. That's why most games used the bleeper, or if you were lucky the PC speaker.

"Covox" triggered some memories. Glancing at the article however, I can see why I don't remember much of it.

How did the term Hamsters, which seems to refer to Chris M's team, originate? Is this an Aussie term, European, perhaps Canadian?
No complaints here - just curious. From my memory of my sister's pet, it mostly ate pellets, ran on a squeaky wheel, and produced pellets.
Best wishes to all - Craig

I always thought the "hamsters" were like Gremlins - up to no good, mischief. so when something is broken with the site the Hamsters did it.
