| Hey Kirt!
Sorry I missed your response the first time, not sure how you got listed as a guest, but probably logged out somehow. Sadly, I probably lost a lot of my materials from the 90s, due to dead or dying hard drives and floppies. I wouldn't be too optimistic. 3.5" floppies were so unreliable, its hard to imagine it could survive in tact 25 years later. If only we had the cloud back then! Here is a drive: https://www.amazon.com/RAAYOO-External-Portable-Diskette-Notebook/dp/B077HDT19H/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=3.5+inch+floppy&qid=1603494414&sr=8-2 No idea if it would work. Well, we might have to recreate some of the material. Looking into making a model "solar" system for Greyspace for fun. Maybe we can build some things back up slowly. The idea of an astrology system for PCs could still be amusing. -Gary |

Not sure why it recorded me as Guest, but that was me. |

Hey Gary! Nice to hear from you directly. I am in SoCal now, in the mountains above Palm Springs. I checked my papers after the move and I don't think I have a paper copy of the astrology stuff. There is a reasonable chance that it is stored on one or more mac-formatted 3.5" floppies (!) that I have saved but currently have no way to read. I have been considering getting an external 3.5 floppy reader to plug into my PC laptop or mac desktop - if there are any you would recommend I can see if I can work some necromantic magic. The closest I got to your neck of the woods was two years ago when my daughter applied to UC Santa Cruz and we took a tour, but she ended up going to Macalester in St. Paul, MN. Do let me know if you ever get down south here. Kirt |

| Hey Kirt!
Hope this finds you well. Yeah, I made the change, to help find something. But we can see if its a user option, maybe everyone can set it for themselves. I told some of the guys about the astronomy/astrology work we did in the 90s. Did you ever happen to keep a copy of it? Mine is long gone, alas too many computer failures over the years without good backups. Anyway, glad to see you are still around. We ancient greytalkers are a dying breed. But there seems to be a second (3rd, 4th, 5th?) wind in the community lately. -Gary |

| I believe Gary implemented this to help the people who use the Journal feature. | |

|
| It seems that page displays have gotten about four times longer recently.
I haven't changed my browser or my display settings. For example, the campaign journal I post used to be spread over eight pages, but now it fills just two, although I don't appear to have lost any posts. Not a problem, per se - I guess I just need a confirmation that there was nothing I did / nothing I need to do. |
