Ah, the long-standing mystery. It does mean something, but not in a computer program you're likely to be running (since it was probably written before you were born...).

5 points to the first person here to figure it out.

Penalty for such? Apology or bribe?

Death.

Sorry.

I always thought it meant Alternate Fate. Either that or its something like BASIC.

Nope, sorry.

I'm guessing it has something to do with DOS.

AltF8 · Aug 1, 2003

Nope. Keep guessing.

AltF8,

Those are awesome pictures for sure. It's amazing how many more pics you'll take and experiment with when it's digital. "Don't like it, delete it and try again." It's a wonderful media and has brought myself a lot of entertainment since we got our's 8 months ago.

~kudos~

Alt F8 Has to do with the program that AltF8 owns and uses ALT F8 in.

I win.

Maybe the MSX program/OS? I have some experience in it...

Uh...no, you don't. I've personally never used the program that it comes from.

In WordPerfect, <Alt>+<F8> will print a list off of all available keyboard commands.

Could it be that you want to be a WordPerfect junkie?

Anyhow, love the pics Alt, very nice indeed!

5 points for Pako.

Close, but not quite.

In WordPerfect for DOS, Alt+F8 was the key combination for the "Style" menu.

So, there you go. I said it.

Since you gave it away Alt, you don't get 5 points. Instead, you get a golden star!

Dang it, should have remembered the old DOS commands....., then again, never knew them even back in the day.

So now we all know that AltF8 has style, though we knew that before the meaning of the name...

:cheers:

And yes, once again, nice pics.

How do you like the camera?

Do you have manual settings that you can adjust?
