The internet is for email and gopher—and now ILL!

DIALOG now only allows you 30 min to cancel a print command—instead of 2 hours.........

I got nothing

Heading “Reducing” replaced by “Weight loss”....

To move ahead in results, use shortcode DIE. ...um

And the ICP is being public spirited.

@platypus oh jeez, thanks for posting these

@platypus this means that if you put in a print request before, you'd have to wait a minimum of two hours for it to print...?

@InspectorCaracal I guess? It weirds me the heck out!

@platypus Ariel was mind blowing.

@platypus It was a serious game changer.

@sng it astounds me that we could even use the same system now and it would work. Like it looks so solid. No auto searching but for existing ILL requests...

@platypus That’s pretty amazing. Yes.

@platypus "Covers ... working with: ... a window."

@lawremipsum it was 1993 or 94 so I imagine this was a huge deal!

@platypus I'm reminded of a commercial for a time/life book series on computers that I had recorded on a VHS with my MST3k episodes, which answers such questions as "Will these windows change my original document?" which is cemented in my brain from all the times I watched that tape.

@platypus Yes. I remember teaching my father how to click. And I'm not sure he has grasped, years later, that you can have multiple programs running at the same time.
