Strange symbols on IE7

"-----" fill in the blank ! ?

Quotes " ". Depending on the encoding that a site uses for its RSS feeds, sometimes the symbology overruns the HTML coding.

JohnDG,

That ppears to be a Unicode problem, and/or with the appropriate "character sets" not being available locally (on your machine).

Korean uses several Han characters (i.e. chinese-derived ideograms). These differ somewhat from the (Chinese) original characters, thereby leading to the encoding issues...

Just my $0.02

If you change your setting to the Korean 16 bit character set the Singing will start flashing.

This is a typical trick we used in the Pre_Intel , Word Star ,

HP AGL (Advanced Graphic Language) Era.

The †represent a switch marker And œ the function. The â€? represent the end or cancel.

Oh, yea - dear old Wordstar. I'd almost forgotten about that. Still got loads of Wordstar files stashed away somewhere.

When I upgrade a hard drive, I take out the "slave" (& put it on the pile on the shelf), & make the old "master" the new "slave" (how are the mighty fallen).

Thanks for the info & reminder.

Hi John

You also save old drives on a shelve?

I copy the data on CD , DVD , DVD double layer etc but still keep them.

Number of uses. maybe once a year to never.

I have opened the old 5" drives took the stepper and gave the aluminium chassis to the poor (they sell it for bread). This brave step was taken because I actually did not had a working MFM or RTL computer to plug them into, (yes I keep the computers too)

The platters I used to hang in fruit trees to scare birds. (10Mb and 30Mb has the same effect - what a waist)

About prices - my first 10Mb was more expensive than the new 500Gig. In a few years (months) we might have 10 Terabyte at the same Price. Amazing
