    1) Unicorn
    2) In the beginning.....

    Blech. I already disliked the colour, but now... Worse, I suspect I know its identity. But I ain't guessing; someone else's turn.

    *This may be a teeny-tiny exaggeration. However, it feels like six months.

    I'm thinking friendly village bobby who'll have a quiet word with any misbehaving inks and advise them to calm their sheening and their shimmering before someone gets hurt.

    But probably Keystone, if we're honest.

    *tap tap*
    Testing, testing. One-er, two-er, three-er. Mary had a little lamb, its fleece was white as snow. One day she dropped some BSB, now it's blue from head to toe.

    Has it been long enough now to say you broke the thread? . Unless there is actually an ink called "Keystone", in which case I apologise as I'm going to be a little late with my ink of mystery...

    Well I was rather hoping someone else might like to try guessing the existing ink, actually. You know, like the thread says.

    Besides no-one would make me post pics on a connection that's slumped to 20Kbps, would they? It's cruelty to weevils.

    Since you guessed right it doesn't really make sense for someone else to guess.

    My parents, with great foresight, knew there would be days like this, which is why they christened me Alice. And lo, here I am falling down the rabbit hole. Tread carefully now, children, for it has taken me over ten twenty minutes and five seven page refreshes to even get to this reply box and I am a trifle... tense. That being said:

    Would some nice lady or gentleman like to put me out of my misery and at least tell me the name of the ink I am supposed to have guessed?!?!!

    And breathe.

    If you're on Windows 95 I'm surprised you can even use the forum. I'm assuming that's the era because 20kbps is consistent with a 33.6kbps modem which was popular at the time.

    Edit to add: I didn't mean to be insulting. But 20kbps is really unusual now, and I'm wondering how that is even possible! I'm in a remote area where there is no broadband available and I'm quite a bit faster than that. Some years ago when we had dialup and I was sharing the connection with my wife, I used to get about 48kbps.

    From what I gather, "rural" areas in UK have very poor internet connection.And Weevil lives in one of those areas......
