Daniel Bienvenu: sorry, my email software.

changed username to rich-3 Daniel Bienvenu: Hello again Rich! Daniel Bienvenu: long time no see Ron: like a hall of mirrors in here rich-3: the chat is being particularly nasty today - maybe it doesn't like Firefox Daniel Bienvenu: I'm using firefox right now, and I use the TABS, one for the chat and the other to surf the net. Ron: You guys like Firefox eh? rich-3: I haven't tried the tabs yet Ron: must download it rich-3: I'm not clear on how they differ from the stuff in the toolbar Daniel Bienvenu: I appreciate Firefox. My Pentium II @ 400Mhz appreciate this fast browser that need less ressources than the other popular borwsers. rich-3: let's say IE remains my default browser and may not change for a while rich-3: I do not like the sll or nothing passord setup and am unhappy with the bookmark organization Daniel Bienvenu: The only problem I enconter is when running flash applications... but I think it's in relation of CPU ressource needed by the plugin to let me see the animation at the right speed. rich-3: with an Athlon 1600 I do not have speed problems and Flash runs just fine Daniel Bienvenu: And there is also the problem that WindowsUpdate works only with IE. rich-3: well, Windows itself doesn't work without IE - you can't remove it

Ron: Safari Ron: Haven't yet tried Firefox, but it's available rich-3: can't get into the Duron with command.com to start poking about? dan-b: Safari, the browser made by Apple. Must works pretty well, isn't it? Ron: yes, Safari works quite well. Ron: is there a command line interface with firefox? rich-3: oh - did you get teh Star Trek funny I sent you, Ron?

Ron changed username to Ron richx4: anyway, Ron, my suggestion about Firefox would be try it and see if you like it Ron: yeah, sounds like a plan dan-2: now, I'm waiting for any reaction from Spaniel Chat... maybe he will associate my IP with an old request. richx4: yes, that's how I get back, Daniel, once I know I've been dropped Ron: still have strange white flakes falling from the sky richx4: the big deal with it is that it's supposed to be more secure than IE richx4: oh, we had them earlier - someone must have diverted ours to you Ron: not nice Ron: but it looks like a pitcure postcard out back richx4: of course, you folks out there are not used to snow Ron: ya got that right, son richx4: unfortunately we are entirely too used to it, though not by Daniel's standards dan-2: let it snow ! let it snow ! let it snow ! richx4: we just got a light dusting this morning but judging by teh Doppler radar Cleveland got dumped on - again Ron: Daniel, I heard something about a big arguement over the Winter Carnival and Bon Homme du Neige. What was that about? richx4: test dan-2: It's difficult for me to talk about that, I'm not sure what is it about exactly. richx4: sorry, heard some strange disc activity and thought I might have been tossed dan-2: disc activity? Ron: you're still among us I believe richx4: yes, my hardd disc started burbling a way a bit, also seemed to be incoming net traffic dan-2: ok! I were thinking that you see ufos outside. richx4: the little Zone Alarm icon keeps me informed about what's going on richx4: no, haven't seen a UFO since we were camping dan-2: me too. Ron: you mean you actually saw one? richx4: but then, I'm not usually out admiring the night sky, either richx4: Ron, something flew over that I could not identify dan-2: in fact, my bother saw the first one to saw the ufo I finally saw Ron: ok dan-2: mistyped but you problably understand Ron: yes
moved to room Meeting Place dan-2: I saw an ufo when I was young, in a camping @ the prince edward island.
changed username to rich/mk5 Ron: really! rich/mk5: well. so much for the hyphen theory dan-2: the ufo was not in the camping, he was high in the sky and probably over the ocean. rich/mk5: mine hung in the sky with no visible motion, then suddenly came towards me very rapidly rich/mk5: there was an aircraft noise but it was notably delayed after teh time the object had passed dan-2: it was during night, and this black oblic disk was flying from west to east without any sound and spinning (well, that's the impression I had by seeing its lights moving). rich/mk5: essentially it behaved like somethi8ng trying to pretend it was an aircraft, and almost succeeding Ron: mmm rich/mk5: it had no wingtip lights, no flashing red below or strobe above Ron: none of the usual aircraft markings rich/mk5: I couldn't see any shape, it was too dark and apparently unlighted dan-2: suddently, something get out of the ufo that makes some fire, it was like like a comet that enter in the atmosphere. rich/mk5: mine could have some rational explanation, but yours is much more mysterious, Daniel Ron: one of those once in a lifetime experiences Ron: I would be very suprised if we had the whole place to ourselves dan-2: but this second object, smaller than the first one, had no light so I were unable to saw it after that "flash" moment of fire. the big ufo never stop his slowly moving. So, I'm not sure what i saw exactly. rich/mk5: there are more things in heaven and earth than are dreamed of in our philosophies - right, Ron Ron: or that we can perceive with our 5 senses Ron: yup' dan-2: my theory is that i saw a giant ufo that came near to the Earth and drop an objet in the atmospher. rich/mk5: I wonder how much we are missing "up there" just because we're not out there to look Ron: a fair amount I expect Ron: must turn down the furnace....too hot in here rich/mk5: still, the professional skywatchers aren't saying much dan-2: but flying from west to east means that this theory may not be possible... wrong sense for an orbital thing and too big to be real i think. rich/mk5: Frances just came in after walking back from Dufferin - took her 35 minutes - says she's hot Ron: Hi Frances Ron: good to hear that one of us is getting some exercise rich/mk5: she's wandered away but I'll pass it on ;-) Ron: I'm still in my jammies Ron: and it's 1:40 in the afternoon rich/mk5: she just came back and says hi to you Ron: :) rich/mk5: shame on you, I was dressed, had the paper read, and made my bed before noon rich/mk5: and the paper was teh Saturday Star - all 700 lbs. of it dan-2: Long time after that, I saw here in Quebec, when I was in a bus, a formation in "V" of five objects that makes a kind of wave movementand they go straightly in the sky to the north-weast. Ron: not normally my style, but when I looked outside this morning, I concluded it was going to be a lazy day Ron: but later, if I want to go get groceries, I'll have to shovel first dan-2: I'm pretty sure that I'm the only one that saw these objects. peoples here are looking more the fllor or the other side of the road than the sky. rich/mk5: well, Frances asked me to take her over to Dufferin so she could visit a store there and walk home - about a mile Ron: did you file a report Dan? rich/mk5: you see what you see, Daniel, and wonder about it, but we'll never know dan-2: well, I had no prrof. I did no report. rich/mk5: hard to file a report, Ron, without sounding silly or cranky dan-2: but I writed an email the same day to my friends about this waving flying objects. Ron: Have never had the experience, but I can imagine it would be difficult to report it. dan-2: I think I keep a trace of this email in a backup. rich/mk5: well, there is an organization - in Manitoba I believe - that does collect reports rich/mk5: but I'd like more certainty before reporting what I saw rich/mk5: it was just a flying object I couldn't identify rich/mk5: am I here? dan-2: yes Ron: Well, there are authorities in the land who know at any instant what is supposed to airborne at any given point rich/mk5: yes, and there are all sorts of radars peering everywhere all the time Ron: so we'd have identified and unidentified dan-2: my ufo experience @ prince edward island was during night but all my familly saw this ufo.

changed username to rich-6 Ron's Toshiba: was I ejected? dan-2: we saw it because I asked days before that night to be all the familly outside a few minutes to look the stars in the sky. rich-6: looks like maybe I wasn't the only one tossed? Ron's Toshiba: first time for me rich-6: daniel, did you survive this last bump without being tossed? rich-6: ah yes - I see we have two Rons now
Ron left chat session dan-2: My parents says to me that it was probably a setelite.. knowing that the biggest satelit the human did is only a dot in the sky makes this affirmation of seeing a satelit that night sompletly wrong.
