Hey Everett I was over on the CLF and they have a new button called "Stealth Mode" you click on it and your computer screen goes black, click again your back in busines...you thought about it for those of us that surf at work? Me, I got my own office, but it might be a good idea for some of the others?

Mabye a secret hot key or something?

Hold down the Alt key while you press Tab (you can do it with one hand: thumb on Alt, pinkie on tab) and you will switch to the next open window. Have a work application running full screen along with your internet window and you can Alt-Tab instantly.

I know that one, but I want STEALTH MODE, how are we going to let the Cal-look.com have a feature that the samba doesn't...

I just checked out that site and I don't think it holds a candle to TheSamba. But I gotta admit, the Stealth feature is kind of nifty.

It's a neat idea and I could duplicate it (already looked at their code) but it's way faster to Alt+Tab plus you can switch to something that actually looks work-related.

There used to be a game when you could hit a hot key and it would bring up a Lotus 1-2-3-looking spreadsheet. Ahhh, that days of text-only computers.

Don't go getting all nostalgic on us and change the samba to DOS!

I think that was the original Leisure Suit Larry! That game kicked ass!

I thought about it some more and I agree with Everett, stealth mode makes your screen go black which still doesn't look like you're working. Alt-tab is better.

whats DOS?
LOL J/K
ALT TAB all the way!

Not to mention the fact you would have to fumble around with trying to find the damn stealth mode icon or button.

man I HATE THIS SITE!!!! jeez Everett, you don't keep stats on logged users do you? Man I swear i am on this site 6-7 hours a day!!! With the web as big as it is WHY GOD did u put the samba in Everetts head!!!!! i hate addictions.......

79SuperVert Fri Jan 03, 2003 12:53 pm

Yeah but it could be worse. If there was no Everett what would you be hooked on? Sex? Drugs? Booze? What else can you do for 6 - 7 hours a day and not suffer serious side effects or worse?

66split Fri Jan 03, 2003 12:56 pm

work ...maybe?

79SuperVert Fri Jan 03, 2003 12:59 pm

OH, YEAH, RIGHT!!!!

HEY WHO SAYS SEX, WORK and BOOZE are a bad thing to be hooked on??? good thing I am the boss who sets the example for me....heh

79SuperVert Fri Jan 03, 2003 1:21 pm

Kinda hard to be hooked on them all at the same time...unless like you say you're your own boss.
