007 Our fine Southern gentleman; always a kind word and often, a good joke. Fixes AOL in exchange for stuffed pork chops. Al-K New on the scene: quiet and respectful - we like that. Bee Often right there to jump in and help. Bil Our fearless leader, whose ear has been reshaped by the telephone receiver he usually has pressed to it. Morons, beware. Choroni Win95 Talkshop's resident legal mind and legal rep for Kate. Also, our goddess of the desert. There is no deal she can't negotiate into something more.. well, if not lucrative, definitely more interesting. David34 Our kind gentle man host from the southwest. David always has a smile and a kind word, too. Frank Despite his diet (mostly Taco Bell, gummi bears and Diet Coke) and his obsession with a host on the Weather Channel, Frank's a pretty decent guy. He is also Win95's room philanthropist. If you ever find Oat Bran gummi bears, send his a case. Jay Jay is the quiet one with a smile and often times, a good URL to visit. jihiggs An expert at heating tomatoes, pickles, and lettuce in the micro wave by day, Jimmy (aka Stud Muffin) spends his nights doing wheelies in the Win95 TS in his new Camaro. JoMi aka Da Mailman; Mike is the one to let us know when our rush E Mail won't arrive till Christmas. Also oft- times ready with a good URL. LC Our rep from the burbs of Eastern NY. Leo The good son adopted by Win95 Talkshop when his grumpy dad, Deepak, threatens to remove his NT user account. Marguerite Our kind bearer of cinnamon toast and hot chocolate; she's got a cool bird, too, and a digital camera to match. Meeko Our web design diva. Mellainie Our lady of the Rockies; now if Kate could only find her local number. Mr. Something of a journalist himself, having exposed Pami and the Jerry Springer saga Myst Our room's gentle myst, blown in by Pacific winds to grace our Talkshop when she can. Pepsi Almost as quiet and unassuming as Kate until she fell under a darker and rather fun influence; also the goddess of IE4 chat. RickM/ With Redi Kilowatt, major fan of electricity, you just think he's asleep. He'll strike offenders while Shar is still holding a mirror under his nose, checking to see if it fogs up, showing signs of life. Write to him at the Betty Ford Clinic for Advanced Front Page Addiction. Ryukyu aka Mikekyu; Mike can rustle up a fine compliment and a new PC for his mom while dueling it out with the likes of Hofbrau. Tom Have Beetle; will travel (vast, uncharted distances). Tony aka Mr Linguini, aka Pastaman, aka the car salesman you would like to meet. |
Aldron aka Buzz (only Stands remembers why); always read for technotalk of the day and often our news correspondent Aperture How do you describe someone with the cojones big enough to take on our Stands on a regular basis? Father of two wonderful, angelic kids. BigTroutz New to TS, and already a rebel without a pause.
Caliban Our Karaoke and pun specialist; lives in New Jersey and admits it, too. Frisco Win95 Talkshop's Man of Mystery. Glee The Gleeful one; can reject Sonbum's advances in the a.m. then go dancing all evening. Hallycat Win95's Web Guru Goddess and the subject of an amazingly tame recent expose by Deepak Midha in which he failed to disclose the details of her first 12 husbands or that Hally secretly owns IBM. Jon Hildrum OK, we admit, Jon belongs in the GOOD column but there simply was no room. But how can one complain about following our Ms. Hally? Karkan John always has an answer. Mark Our LA area visitor, ready to leap tall birthday graphics at a moment's notice. Melinda Known to dance in TS while at the same time answering complex technical questions and ordering take-out. Don't mention spiders to her.
Niezer She trades barbs with Russ while honing her PC talents in hardware and software. Oz Our frisky rep from Big Blue. Does this mean he works for Hally? Pami Owner of the Frogs and according to Deepak's rumor mill, a Chinese spy (does this mean she can find us good Take-out?). RickT He drives a Porsche by day, tackles hardware and Front Page issues with Sharon and Pami by night.
Shar SCSI Diva and major downloader extraordinaire, she often finds a salty word or two for her hosts. But is she willing to change her name to Boris to get on Team IE 1? Stay tuned, find out.. if you dare. Sonbum aka Mick, aka The Romantic Soul. With his faithful pup, he does battle in chats each day. Standswithfist aka The Queen of Tarts, aka Super Strumpet. She runs the CIA's special task force by day, and works as Win95 Chief of Security and Protocal each night (she frisks everyone so don't take it personally). But she does need to learn to prop the pillows better in bed so Mr. Stands does not realize she's missing at 2 a.m. quite so easily. She combines the unique qualities of a rapier wit, sharp mind, and the ability to puddle.

CK Since he defies the normal bounds of description, you will have to meet CK for yourself. He is many things, and NONE of them bland. We do need to work on his diet, however, since he's a connoisseur of sweet- breads and calamari. Deepak Father of Leo, the good son, but quite a rascal in his own right. Sharp at tech, even sharper in his weekly Scurrilous Rumors column at his site. Extreme Major Jerry Springer fan, he balances this with watching nature films on PBS. GMan
GMan marches to the
strident chords of his very own guitar. Kate So exceptionally good that she must be bad. Well, not really, but if we told you how sweet she is, you would go into a diabetic coma.
PrmsdLnd aka Russ, or Win 95 Talkshop's own little ball of sunshine (piss n vinegar too).
Robert_Proffitt The gentleman host of Hardware also tells some killer jokes and inside gossip in Win95 Talkshop. Yousef Bright, outspoken (wait... did we just commit an understate- ment?).
Missing and Presumed to Be in a Freezer in San Armadillo: Bruce What more needs be said about Bruce but that he was one of a kind? Explorer Last seen allegedly discussing a cruise with Sharon. No one has seen him since. Rseman Update: recently found again, impersonating Ted Kennedy. Hally suspects he was too perfect (a man who cooks, cleans, hates TV sports, and is self- supporting) and thus was simply a figment of our overactive imaginations. He remains in the Baaad column until we figure out where he was and if his absence had anything to do with his passion for cheese.
Temporarily Missing and Presumed to Be in Summer Reform School: HaDeZ Charming child. OverLord Even less charming child.
Those We Would Love to Report Missing and Presume to Be in a Sanatarium Freezer as Far Away as Possible: Hofbrau What makes Hof like he is? We suspect it's compensation for unusually small and malfunctioning personal hardware. Proves a smart mind isn't the same as a good one. |
