    Default For The Geeks: A Quick Computer Question ...

    Hey, I was typing a private missive to another poster and noticed that small case "W"s were suddenly not showing up as I typed them. Not only that, but some of the "W"s on the page were missing also. On other sites, different letters were missing from the pages themselves. Is it the browser or the computer doing this? I've noticed this taking place on both on Firefox and Safari, so my guess is that it is not the browser, but something else.

    (Right now I can't see any lower case "W"s in this typing box for example. Just a space where they should be)

    What can be going on here? Any ideas?

    Mac 10.3.9 system fwiw.

    Thanks in advance.

    I cleaned up my desktop, restarted, and viola, problem solved.

    So you moved that weird goblin away from your monitor, pushed play on ShemalePsycopaths Volume-3, came on yer keyboard, and wiped it off...


    You can clutch the past so tightly to your chest that it leaves your arms too full to embrace the present.

You certainly dished it up on me for no reason, and without proof I might add, and like the lying coward you were revealed to be, you ran off as I knew you would.


    I hate liars...I really do.

    Duuuuh. All it takes is to hit the person's name and up pops out his/hers profile. Then it is a simple click of the link to all the person's posts and there they are. Nothing laborous. Why is it a concern to you?
