1- HOW TO SPARE TONS OF MEGABYTES ON THE DRIVES OF ZABAWARE?
When you post your "work", always put a warning at the end, like this: "No comment please, except if you DON'T like that!".
All the people (me included, of course) showing their stuffs here are obviously sure they just created a very good-looking intelligent smart clever thing, if possible useful to humanity, or at least to the "community". And they (me included again, of course!!) are right. If not, we don't post, isn't it?. So why waiting for congrats?
Bad criticisms are always much more constructive, if our stuff needs some improvements, or does't work on other computers. We can be sure it's always sincere. So writing "very nice BUT..." is a positive act. And a real help for our next creations.[:)]
2- HOW TO DISCRETELY POST TONS OF (useful or not) STUFFS:
Don't create multi-page threads. They are too much visible for moderators. It's preferable to make 100 threads containing 1 post rather than 1 thread with 5 pages.
Oh, very important, always a new title:
"My last creation"
"A new one"
"It's for you"
"Look at this"
"Sure you'll like it"
"I made this yesterday"
"And another one"
"Something new"
"Not easy but I did it"
"Dedicated to everyone"
"Different"
I must stop, because of the KBytes I'm eating. It's free, you may use them, my first really useful contribution to the forum.[8D]
3- NO COMMENT PLEASE, except if you DON'T like that post![:D][:D][:D]

This is one of your attempts at humor isn't it GT? Well it worked. I got a smile outta it. Thanks for posting.[:D][:D][:D]
-
Some valuable points, I will keep them in mind.
Thanks.

Isn't one letter a byte? I would have to type a 1,000 letters for a KB.[8D]
-
Yes, one character (letter, space, period, etc.) is a byte.
Actually, if you type one letter, that is, one character and save the file, it will be shown as 1k in size.
The usage of k as in 1k denotes not 1000 but 1024 bytes. In everyday terms it is 1000 bytes but it was based on 2 to the 10th power = 1024.
A bit (a 1 or 0) of rather confusing info but what the hey!!
Something for you to nibble/nybble (half a byte) on.
-
K's and Bytes - I never really understood the difference.......until now.
I makes me appeciate even more those early machines of 32k.

I got my eye on this 1 TB external hard drive from Tigerdirect.com, for only $179.00. I would love to be able to get that some day. I never even knew that they went that high. That would be like have 1000 GB's of space, WOW!

Imagine Hal with a brain that big! :)

Wow, thank you for your replies! Yes, despite I really think what I wrote, it was just humor (seems to quickly disappear from AI/VR forums). So, back to serious things.
When you post a text, it's easy to know the weight of the file. Just put it in the NotePad and right-click on "properties". For the first post above: 1464 bytes = 1.43 KB. It's a long long post.
I am guilty of sending near 1300 useless posts + a few pics in the "uploaded" folder + many many smileys. Smileys are terrifying: between 1 and 2 KB!! Now I understand why some people never put any smiley in their posts. I thought they were writing about very serious things. I was wrong: they were just saving precious KBytes. [:D] (oh sorry, another one).
>>> OH! I HAVE ANOTHER IDEA! WHY IS THE REGISTRATION FREE?
You post, you pay (a new drive). Nice useful idea, isn't it? [8D]
Important (for me) edit:
Oops! After re-reading this post, "many people" is much more preferable to "some people never put any smiley". Nobody here is concerned. Sorry.[:)]
-
LOL, I'm gonna start charging you for smilies now GT40 [;)][}:)]
-
Oh no, just a little one, from time to time.
Please, Freddy. [:)] <----- like this one (738 bytes only)
-
next you know he'll have us texting to keep it shorter !!lol [:D]oops was that to long ?[:D]
