Re: 10000 Reply #2 – 2020-04-17 12:23 pm For completeness, from the point of view of decimal numbers:https://forum.noteworthycomposer.com/?topic=1 was 24 years ago;https://forum.noteworthycomposer.com/?topic=10 was 24 years ago;https://forum.noteworthycomposer.com/?topic=100 was 23 years ago;https://forum.noteworthycomposer.com/?topic=1000 was 21 years ago;Even though I have used NWC for 21 years now (my first crank organ arrangement, "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy", is from 1999), I don't know any names in those threads, except Fred Nachbaur.Looking forward, when will 100000 be? Assuming roughly similar traffic (i.e., NWC is not going viral), some 9 times 24 = 216 years in the future, i.e., by year 2236, give or take a few (decades? centuries?).H.M. Quote Selected 2 Likes
Re: 10000 Reply #3 – 2020-04-17 08:03 pm See you in the 100000 thread! Long, long ago, let say 45 years, while discussing with some friends, someone, maybe me, said: we'll meet in ten years and we'll see who was right.Indeed we met some 15..20 years later but none remebered what was the matter...

Re: 10000 Reply #8 – 2020-04-18 12:30 pm Given how dramatically things have changed in the last 50 years, I can't imagine what they'd be like in another 200. We'll all have wireless transceivers installed in our skulls at birth (with an optional MIDI equivalent add-in when we are old enough to appreciate music). We won't need to use quaint keyboards to exchange messages with each other. Quote Selected

Re: 10000 Reply #11 – 2020-04-21 05:33 pm Until relatively recently there was an original Forum accessible at https://noteworthycomposer.com/nwcforum/. Perhaps I nodded off when we were told it was going to be erased, and so didn't see that? Anyway, shouldn't the Forum Numbers Count start from this old one?MusicJohn 21/Apr/20 Quote Selected

I didn't realize this (or if I did know it once, I had forgotten). I dug out my NWC 1.75b CD, and sure enough, in folder \PROGRAMS\NWCFORUM are the files NWCForum.cnt and NWCForum.hlp. So I copied the files to my hard drive and double-clicked the 8.3MB .hlp file... which redirected me to a Microsoft web page to tell me that Windows 10 no longer supports .hlp files, and if I have Windows 8.1 or older, I could install WINHLP32.exe.But I don't give up so easy. I eventually found a version of WINHLP32 that will install on Windows 10, although it has that quaint Windows 95 look and feel. It seems odd to browse forums as though they are a help file, but I applaud NWC for actually trying to preserve this information.I subsequently read that Microsoft had removed support for .hlp files because of security concerns, so I don't know if I will keep using this program. I did discover that it's possible to convert a .hlp file to a .chm file (aka HTMLHelp), which is apparently more secure, and more importantly, still supported in Windows 10. However, the process looks a bit complicated, and I'm not planning to do it. Quote Selected 1 Likes
