One skill in which I excel is that of "muddying the waters"
Let me try again to outline what I mean by "spooling" or
"capturing".
Back in the "dark old days" (the great old days) of Telix,
Procomm, Bitcom, PCtalk..... when you called a BBS, you
could open a Capture file (named VERGE.001). As you
hopped around the BBS, scrolling through bulletins,
running through doors, reading chat areas ... everything
which came across your monitor also went straight to
the file VERGE.001
When you went offline, all the material you had viewed
could be seen/printed from VERGE.001
I am hoping that Arachne can open some type of Capture
file (named VERGE.002), such that as I hop from web site,
to web site it is all captured in the file VERGE.002
If I go to www.google.com and scan through 100 messages
in any of their newsgroups, I hope all 100 messages
will be captured in VERGE.002 Again, when offline, I
would hope I could view/print any portion of VERGE.002
If I've made the waters "ever muddier", I definitely
have retained my skill of causing confusion.
