Re: GPL - High Res Chat Fonts

How do people type those long messages while racing on-line? Even if I take my eyes away from the road to try and read them I usually end up in the wall! I wouldn't even begin to imagine how I would actually type at the same time as driving? Maybe they have someone else doing the typing? Like the old riding mechanics they had till the 1920's?

Hehe This happens to me all the time. Someone puts me off the road, as has been known to happen once in a while on Vroc, then types 'sorry' and i'd really like to type 'np' for no problem, but with the steering wheel in-front of the monitor, the keyboard is in a tricky spot, and there just isn't chance. The guy who took me off probably ends up thinking I'm raging with fury because I didn't reply. If I even *think* about typing I usually crash<vbg> "Chris Bloom" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > > How do people type those long messages while racing on-line?

Thanks for this utility, I run at 1024*768 and I've been needing this for a long time. Also, there is another utility that allows you to preprogram something like 10 chat messages and link them to your function keys so you only have to hit one key to have " Sorry for ramming you off the track" come up in chat.
