2002 Pioneer Press Treasure Hunt

Submitted by Casey Trauer on

Yes, the medallion has been found, but there's still lots to talk about. Feel the need for more than virtual discussion? Then join the Re-Hash Bash, Sunday, Jan. 27, at noon at Merriam Park in St. Paul.

I need some computer help. at work i just hit refresh to read new messages. But at home here i don't have a refresh key. There's a reload button. Is that the same thing?

As for your organizing your files.... truely thought you said orgasming your files...had to read it like 3 times to get it right...I think I've been hanging around you guys too long

then you shouldn't have a problem opening it up.

jan, many of us do. for the longest time i had a reputation as being that computer generated entity ian referred to earlier. for me that broke a week ago with most people when i met a whole load of cooler heads at the pp wednesday nite, at mcg's friday nite, and at merriam sunday afternoon.

I'm new the cooler Jan except for 99 when I dabbled in it for a while

it gets a lot of people. its kinda weird cuz i'll be typing something in word, and watch the s's automatically turn into z's. what's really scary is that american words like meter have recently started showing up in european spellings too.
