Reef Runner Posted June 23, 2011 Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 On my screen, the words line up perfectly. I can MAKE them ragged by changing the size of the window. No way would I ever use a browser at full screen. I might enlarge four browser windows to fill the whole screen, but it would still be excessive. I like having all the shortcuts available at all times. Y'never know when you might need another kite-quote. No argument there, but you got to think about what most other people see. That's why you need to look at the "edit" screen. Then you will see what the rest of us are seeing, those of us that are using a regular computer / laptop............... ps.............most people don't' have screens, large enough to see 3 or 4 full screens, at the same time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
--Pete Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 ...you got to think about what most other people see. That's why you need to look at the "edit" screen.... I tried that, but the edit screen also changes size as you change the size of the browser window, so it is still variable for each user. And I don't have all that much screen "real-estate". I know one guy that has four 27" monitors in a 2x2 grid; each screen is covered in text so small I can't read it unless I'm practically touching the screen with my nose. He says he needs all that information (programming code) on the screen(s) at once to keep track of everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwmf Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 Well I already have a vented in this very colour ... so there's a good chance I'll win because I actually DON'T need it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear you Pete, but my old brain has a hard enough time, just keeping up with one screen, and I keep that one as big as my computer will allow. Also, I'm just used to using tabs, so I may have multiple multiple "full" pages open, and I just tab back and forth, as needed............... Are we getting off topic, here Have a good one mate............... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I should get the mid-vent, since I plan on winning this standard, and then, I would have a matching pair............. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technically speaking the purple is the girlfriends set ... mine are red I believe the package up for grabs is the full vent, so you should rather get the full sail if you think you stand a chance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exile Posted June 26, 2011 Report Share Posted June 26, 2011 I'm here! If I'm not too late! LOL When I found the site, and saw that there were drawing for prizes, I thought "Hey cool, maybe I could win something for the first time in my life!" But didn't figure that the prize would be this awesome! I'm glad that I subscribed now!! Having been a Navy guy, the chance to win something that doesn't require me to be someplace specific to win it is outstanding. I'll have my fingers crossed!! This is a kite that I REALLY want. What an awesome way this would be to make a comeback into the kiting community! I've been out of the kiting world since 1994, when I moved from Alaska. Did I mention that the Purple is my favorite color for choice for the kite?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baloo Posted June 27, 2011 Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 All these stories, I like Purple, I need to get back to Kiting, awesome kite, bla bla Sorry Exile, you post on this thread, you risk beig bantered (is that even a word?) Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exile Posted June 28, 2011 Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 And I could use all the luck I can get!! Yeah yeah.. I wasn't telling a story as a means of trying to get sympathy or a handout. I would much rather earn it than be just given a hand out. I was just merely giving an intro, and a reason why I would really LOVE to win. I've never won anything, it would be fun to win something for once. Again, I'm NOT pleading for anything here. And by the way. I DO like purple, I use it all the time here is an example Only two, the smallest images I have easy net based access to, that show use of the purple. I really do like purple. So bring it on Baloo, I'm used to being ridiculed. Harsh word... but only oneI could think of. I'll edit this later, at take them out later if this is something that people don't want here.

John Barresi Posted June 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 It's all good. The only topics we don't encourage here are politics, religion, nudity, etc... Not that any of those are inherently bad, but people's values vary a great deal and this is a kite forum, after all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne Dowler Posted June 28, 2011 Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 Exile - as long as you're not selling your soul to the RNG, it's all good!!! There's only about 300 of us trying to win this thing!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exile Posted June 28, 2011 Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 OK, dumb question here... What is RNG?? And what do I get if I do?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reef Runner Posted June 28, 2011 Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 OK, dumb question here... What is RNG?? And what do I get if I do?? John uses a Random Number Generator (RNG), to pick the winners, for the drawings. Our membership numbers are in the system, and the RNG picks........hence, the need for your luck meter to be set (that part is a joke, but the RNG is real) cheers................nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne Dowler Posted June 28, 2011 Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 OK, dumb question here... What is RNG?? And what do I get if I do?? RNG -random number generator!! It's what John uses to pick the winner of the give aways!! We're all trying different ways to "influence" the outcome!! Some are silent, some more vocal, but most of the time, we all want to win!!!

John Barresi Posted June 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 Aye, the RNG is a true random number generator that I use to pick our winners. All the smack talking, RNG cajoling, bribery, etc, is just good fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
