StorySite Author Chat # 9
02-10-2001 6 pm EDSTChat Log with Guest Author : Prudence Walker
ChatMom : Rose2
Log Secretary : Prudence Walker
This was scheduled as a chat with authoress Constance Grant but at the last minute Connie was unable to attend. She recently had a major surgical procedure and our prayers are with her. Prudence stepped in at literally the last minute and did a wonderful job, in spite of the rowdy crowd that we had. In addition to being the guest author, she also acted as log secretary. Prue can do it all. I have done minor editing on the log to correct some spelling errors, and remove some extraneous data. - Crystal
The log starts while the room was waiting for the chat to officially begin.

PRUE.> it came from an idea after the virus you got and me and piper were discussing it and the story just fell into place
[Crystal.] Sorry, Kim. I don't know what I can do. It seems to be mostly happening to you though.
[ChatRoseMom] ah Kim that's not lady like (ducks for cover) but accurate
[Crystal.] I wish that I had that ability, Prue
[Kim_EM.........] I don't think NBCi's flavor of Java is very compatible with Linux... I'd bet it uses MS extensions that don't work right anywhere else
[Crystal.] Anyone else here using Linux?
PRUE.> no
[JennyJ..] (I understood about 5 f***ing percent of that, Kim)
[josie-2] not I
[JeanRea] hummm I connected through a VPN from here in Japan and I'm doing OK, I hope :)

PRUE.> i would like to make a statement
[Crystal.] Kim, can you have a Windows operating system coexisting on your system?
JennyJ..] Go on, Prue.
[Kim_EM.........] it's possible, but when I installed Linux I ripped Windoze out by the roots.. if I get a laptop, I may set it up as a dual boot, though
[JeanRea] till the 21st josie :)
[Kim_EM.........] most of the authors I know who use Linux don't come here because of their problems with parachat...
PRUE.> i couldn't have done this without the support of my friends who encouraged me and helped me and proofed for me
[josie-2] .
