Reporting in - I've got the old screen scrolling off as the new one comes in, now!  I haven't decided what I think of it, but at least I know what everyone's talking about!!

I expected it to work in reverse.  After clicking the "back" button, I needed to go "forward" and I expected it to scroll the opposite direction!  It was a little disconcerting to still see it scroll off the same way!!!! :)

Liz and Judith seem exactly the same to me.


They seem very different to me.  There is a general similarity, both are rather authoritative with a commanding presence and running the estate.  But Liz also had a warm, gracious and caring aspect to her character.  Judith was always quite severe and I wonder if she ever had any enjoyment of anything!

Thank you, but I'm still confused!  Do I have to upgrade to 5.5 first and then do SP2 or does the download of SP2 accomplish the whole thing?

More questions!!  I just took a quick look at the download site and I'm not sure what I should get.  I assumed from your reply that there was an update that would change 5.0 to 5.5, but I only see mentions of 5.5 - so do I need to get the full program?  

If there is just an update, as you seemed to indicate, perhaps you could tell me what it's called!!

There is also SP1 and SP2 for 5.5.  I know I've heard of various security patches that they've had to put out, so if I get 5.5, I assume I'll then have to also download the SPs.  

If that's true and if I decide to do all of this (!), does SP2 contain SP1 or would I need both of them?

I've always loved Ben as Angelique was burning.  It was so exciting to actually seem them get her, and naturally Barnabas liked that, but Ben really seemed to be enjoying it.  It was so hard to picture that just a couple of days before we saw him as his descendant, the Professor!

Nathan - Millicent - and the Countess regarding the disposition of Barnabas - first, it seems so ludicrous to think that Nathan would consider Millicent capable of something like that - as she, herself, said!!  But, I couldn't understand the Countess asking her to go with her - Millicent on a mission like that?!!!  Then Nathan, himself, after having asked Millicent to do it, at first it seemed as though he couldn't even do it.

Wow!  We thought he grabbed them when they were living.  When Vicki was supposed to be dead, I couldn't believe the way he was grabbing all over her face - poor Carolyn G!

Thank you, MB!  There for a while I was regularly getting down to 30 - 40 MB (not you!:)) on C (I have 4 GB divided into C and D) and had to keep deleting all the cache, recycle bin, etc.  Then, after deleting the Trash files from my e-mail (hadn't considered that those stay there!) and emptying the IE cache (I mostly use Netscape and can delete those files from Windows Explorer, whereas IE apparently has to be done from within the program), I got up to over 100 MB.

The other day it occurred to me that I hadn't checked for a while and perhaps I was getting low again.  I was amazed to discover 120 MB and then did all of those deletions again and got it up to 235 MB!!!  So, I assume I can spare 17.:)

However, I was also considering upgrading to Netscape 7 and I don't know how much difference that would make.  I do the downloads to a folder on D, so I guess it's just a matter of how much it puts back onto C when it installs.

Where was Louis Edmonds during this time? On vacation? Off doing a play? ???
We did see him a couple of episodes ago as Joshua when Barnabas was telling Julia how it transpired the first time - unless they inserted tapes from the original, but I assumed that they enacted it all again.

My response the other night must have been one of the "lost" posts.

I just pointed out that I was a freshman in college in the fall of 1967, too!!  Only it wasn't until the middle of my junior year that some friends acquainted me with the show.  So, I saw just a little over the final year "as it happened."

A few years ago I finally saw all the tapes (except the pre-Barnabas part) and then on SciFi since mid 1996.  This time, I finally got to see that pre-Barnabas part.

I see that you reconstructed your reply to me about the Win 95 issue, however, I had asked some questions in response to that.  Here is a summary of what I'm trying to find out:

1 - I assumed that I'm lacking something that enables me to see these effects, since I never got that first changing logo, and now I have no idea what everyone is talking about with this sliding or tilting or whatever.

2 - If that's all I'm missing, I don't know if it's worth getting the update.  All is working fine for now, just that I don't get the fancy effect.  Is there any other particular reason why I would need an update?

3 - Any idea of the size of the download?  I've been holding off getting a new computer for a while now.  The main reason to need one is lack of hard disk space.  I managed to clear a bit of room the other day, but I'm still avoiding any unnecessary downloads.

Amazing reconstruction job!  I recognized some differences towards the end, where I think you went into a bit MORE detail this time!!  But, most of it seemed quite familiar, including many of the little sarcastic comments, which I'm sure you repeated exactly as they were!

First of all what I can't understand is why during the entire "Liz death thing" everyone, including her own daughter keeps telling her "it's just your imagination" and then when she's finally dead and buried, Carolyn now insists that her mother isn't dead and then goes on to spend all her time at the Masoleum! This makes absolutely no sense to me whatsoever.


I referred to this on the main board the other night - haven't checked yet, but I have a feeling it's probably one of the lost posts - so---

It made absolutely no sense to me that, as Cassandra says, she kept insisting to her mother that it was all in her mind, but now suddenly she believes that she isn't dead!!  And, if she really believes that, why did she let them put her in a coffin and take her to the mausoleum!!!!!
