Driveways ruled. I lived in a small town that had many raised sidewalks that gave you a 2 ft ramp.

We built a bunch of bicycle race tracks w/ jumps, whoops, etc. in the mid-70s.

Those were the days, Bill ...one speed to rule them all, one speed to find them, one speed to bring

If you wanna know how I did it I delimited the URL with <URL: in the beginning and a > at the
end. It works most of the time but not with all versions of OE. I'm running OE 6.0 now and it
seems to work OK.

Used to jump ramps made of stacked housebricks and old planks when I was a kid, on a Raleigh
Chopper. Think I may still have the scars to prove it...

I did that. I always do that... Yours wraps too. I've given up, what am I some sort of computer
programmer?

Maybe you should take a look at tinyurl.com, it works splendidly and eliminates any wrapping
problems. It only takes a second to create one.

Nah, it was a neighborhood kid, Jeff Sievers. He kept manualling that bump in front of his house, so
I just snapped a shot. It musta been about 1975 or so.

It was a POS Murray and Jeff destroyed it in about six months. The modified StingRays always
outlasted the KMart bikes.

Are you saying that this link above is not completely clickable? It comes out just fine for me.
However yours still don't.

TinyURL is OK but a little tedious, both to produce and also a little slower to open.

The techique I use is Standardized protocol that came in the beginning of time ( internet ) Most
Newsreaders honor these protocols, but as usual Bill Gates doesn't always, only sometimes and you
never know when. As I said I use IE 6.0 and OE/ Quotefix

Since the delimitors < and > dissapear and become invisible once you hit Enter I'll write the above
URL again only this time I will substitute < and

I tried that (you learn something new every day) but even the 'URL' at the front appeared to be part
of the URL - it got underlined like the rest of the link! See:

What am I doing wrong? Outlook Express v6.0
