Mike,
No lets not have a vote. Mud stands for Multi User Dungeon. This may or
may not involve dragons of the fire breathing variety. They can also
include space ships of the Star Trek variety. As the name suggest a mud is
an online text adventure game where multiple users can log in and err, play.
If you want a general purpose mailing list then go to,
www.bcab.org.uk
This is the home page for the British Computer Association of the Blind.
They have an email list for discussion of anything blind technology related.
Quite a few of us from the Jaws list are on it.
Finally there is really no need to keep posting thanks to every reply you
get. I relies you are trying to be polite but speaking for my self and I
think many others on the list (please flame me if I am wrong on this) find
it a little? annoying to keep reading messages that just contain a few words
of thanks.
What I do when I ask a question on a list is put thanks or thanks in advance
just before I put my name.
Hope this helps,
Nigel
Vicar Don't be sorry be quiet. Bride and groom together, I'm sorry.
