Title: It is possible!
Post by: ccvi on January 14, 2003, 03:52:42 PM

I'm getting more and more proficient at it...

The current version flips in the clipboard at startup. At first this seemed to take too much time before being able to go online.

But in fact it doesn't. It is possible to click the
"online" button before the board comes to a stop.

Anyone else noticed this? :)

You must be launching AH then closing  to relaunch...that is the only time I ever see the clipboard fly onto the splash screen. With a normal launch the splash screen is in it's static position ready for my choice when it shows up for me.

I do that sometimes too ccvi :D  I usually miss and hit "offline."  Waste of time to exit then go online so I dont do it anymore :)

I think it's yours that's different then..... since the last update, the clipboard has tumbled onto the splash screen right from the start.  I do wait for it to stop though.... heck, what's a couple of seconds matter?  :)

Hehe.  HT was showing off his clipboard code (not the code, per se, but what it does) at the con.  He's inordinatly proud of it  :D

Hitting the "online" button while it flips is my new spin on the game.  Even if I log in, see pizza, and log out I still get to aim the mouse at that "online" button as it twists  :)

Yes,but if you click and miss,it lowers your hit %.
