Getting on with it!

Bodacious progress!

Hangtail works Inline would be my choice. great single- It requires both hands but handed if only one would be easier to control tool is stored. when multiple tools are stored.

I sent in my order for three just now!

Thanks!

Hokay, let me try that in English, since the ASCII god was not smiling upon me just then.

Great progress, Larry!

The Hangtail design looks like it would work great when storing a single tool (say a circular saw wrench).

I prefer the Inline design. It does require two hands but would be easier to control when multiple tools are stored. So I sent in my order for three!

Great. You wanted a NoteSHADE as well, right?

Try courier in your newsreader and you'll see it as it was meant to be seen.

Boy when you quote an ascii dwg does it ever look intresting. Now with two quotes lets see what it looks like. :-) ...lew...

People tell me my idea is so ingenious, I should get a patent. Almost from the beginning, in 1999, I figured that to be a rediculous suggestion. The design of my "invention" is reasonably obvious to any "practitioner in the field", so I said screw the patent system--I posted my idea to the public domain in the form of a website. Didn't know I was following Don Lancaster's advice, but now I'm cranking out 2-3 units a week and having a good old time:

Interesting resource! I decided that it wouldn't be worth the cost and complete hassle to patent my product, and several clones have come out in the past decade. Luckily, some of these brilliant copies were made of CARDBOARD!

Ditto here. A lady attorney friend approached me in 1995 for a laptop glare guard. I checked the Web to see if any were available and found none. I tried half a dozen styles, settled on one, decided to make it a top-notch product with really good materials, and the rest is history of a sort. ;) I've been making and selling NoteSHADES(tm) to my clients ever since that time. The Canadian Space Agency has 4 of them.

Yes, please. Thank you.

Larry Jaques intoned:

Great resource, thanks!

That's good because my newsreader turned it into mangledbabyducks!

What, you don't like Picasso? :)

Running Arial, are we?

Larry Jaques explained:

Nope, 'monospace'.

Something else happened because my incoming ascii looks yucky even when viewing with 'courier'. Your ascii looked just fine with 'monospace' or 'courier'.

It looks as if a 'backspace' character got inserted a couple times in my file as it left my computer. Or something. Very Wierd.

Ah well. I will have to forget these advanced graphic techniques and fall back on my old standard which is to post a link to a multimegabyte .JPG file. :)

Short line length settings in the reader can also affect it.

Typical. Posted here, too, on a non-binary group, no doubt. ;)

Larry Jaques flashed on:

What, did I just invent binary links?

Is it too late to file a patent for that *and* my Wireless Guacamole?

:P

There was a neat program (years ago) on an HP computer - called Bruno.

Bruno drew these with ease. Got one guy in trouble at work since he drew the sweet looking admin type - level 2 - and someone saw it. Level 1 admin lowered the boom.

Sorry, I misread that. I thought you were going to do something more standard for Usenet: posting a multimeg file, not a link.

Alas, you're too late. Our well-known friend, Montezuma, invented streaming guacamole. It's part of his revenge when you eat bad Mexican food.

Taco Bell, the thinking man's laxative.
