We seem to have an extremely biased sample at the mo. Hopefully this'll eventually fix itself.

Meanwhile, I stuck my pin in yesterday.

Sorry for thinking the worst of old o-c-f...

How could I know you really were running a platform consisting of an
old TI calculator, an 8-track tape hard drive, and a floppy summer hat?

You sheep. ...:smilie moment:...

You have to be using a browser with Javascript turned on, and one that recognizes pop-ups.

i went to your angelfire site and clicked on the map thingy. nada.
i'm using a gaming console i got for dirt cheap recently as a stop gap measure until i get a real infernal internet machine. i might as well be surfing with a walkman merged with a calculator and my snoopy phone. i would have a real machine right now but i opted for an lxd 55 ar-5 scope instead. 2 more days. 2 more days and it shall arrive. MARS MARS MARS MARS MARS MARS MARS MARS MARS MARS MARS MARS MARS MARS MARS MARS MARS MARS IS COMING!!! BRACE YOURSELVES PEOPLE! MY CLAN IS COMING TO ENSLAVE YOU ALL!

Hey o-c-f...

When you 'clicked' what?

The URL in my essay needs to be 'cut-n-pasted' into another browser.

But now that I start to write this methinks you are pulling my leg.

You jackal. ...:smilie moment:...

Nothing happened when I clicked.

Maybe it's because I'm using a Walkman merged with a calculator and a Snoopy telephone to access the net?

Please modify for such?

Thanks!

I should be on the other side of Phil, but I couldn't squeeze in there.

It seems to be very clustered right now...

I added myself to the map too. I think it'll be fun to see who is where. Thanks for doing this Tom.

This is a very cool idea. I'll have to check back to see where everyone else is from.

Dang it! I thought I had all the bugs worked out!

Please do try later. I have no idea 'where' you are. Though I know when
I see it, I will say 'oh yah!' ... So Cal! I had to go look!

Thanks for the comment!

hey there...

Rich says he is sorry if he accidentally 'mooned' you. I am not sure what's
up with that.

Thanks for the comment . . .and the inspiration!

...to put my "thumb tack" in my little spot on the map, but got an error message. I will check back later to see if it went through, and if not, I'll try again.

A fun idea!

I actually got myself pinned all by myself.

Just look for that guy Rich waving from NY. I am standing right next to him.

Fun fun fun. I like those little bravenet maps, so I added myself on the map. I bookmarked it so I can come back and see who else joined.

Thanks!

Couldn't figure out how to zoom, but stuck a pin in the general area of NYC. Even commented (because it said it was required).

Couldn't find any pictures of NYC, so I didn't include one.

Hope you're freaking happy.
