No danger of that - we're all really nosey here.

That's why we're on here in the first place.

I write in Word only if it's important...

Now, that is a paradoxon.
(I'm a bit biased since Word made it a hell of a lot more difficult writing my last really important paper (my Staatsexamensarbeit (state examination thesis?), which then turned out not to be important at all ). And a friend of mine had serious problems (caused by Word) writing his diploma thesis.

I don;t save or keep it there. I download it to my dongle and then delete it on Screen. I do not trust this modern Computer stuff!

I use UltraEdit. It's an excellent editor! No, I don't have shares in the company

Believe it or not, but if I want to write something long and don't want to lose it, I use my hotmail account and save it on draft.
Or the "reply to a post" function on this site, then save it in hotmail.

When I first met my friend, Lorraine, she was in art college. She didn't have a clue about computers, but she had a Hotmail account and used to write up her college work on there and send it to herself.

I taught her everything she knows about computers and she still knows nothing.

Why did you choose that name/character?: Used to use initials – pjpw for forums and people seemed to automatically use pip instead so stuck with it then
What made you register on this forum?: Liked what I read , seemed friendly and its members intelligent. How wrong was I.

Tell us your ‘what if’s’

If you lived in Ankh-Morpork which trade/guild would you want to join?: Historians Guild – It would be interesting I think.
If you could go on a date with a character who would it be?: Angua. I like strong women
If you were deputising for Death, whose soul would you most like to take – and why?
