 		Maybe "Congrats" hast just no meaning....
or "Congrats" that we finally found out something
or "Congrats" for our work
or ... Maybe it's not "Congrats" as "Congratulations"...what else can this mean ?

Maybe the Congrats and the stars are keeping us from seeing the real image.

IMHO, I think congrats is just wrapping paper, to celebrate a birthday...and to direct us to mlo's age and passwd

 		Well...

MLO's Metadex gives us the Information of Kathys Birtday Celebration on October, 11th....
And we have a Congratulations on October, 9th ... Maybe Kathys Birthday is meant by "Congratulations" ???

One more aspect to think about

 		Dots may mean nothing
I was thinking about the dots in paintshop before I discovered that the dots were scattered into the image as well. As the image was a GIF file, I noticed the dots in the dark areas were RGB 48,0,0. So I edited the palette and removed ALL the other colours except 48,0,0. The result is in the attachments below. It looks like scanner noise in the darker regions of the image. Perhaps that's why it was cropped in the next version. Nothing to see here I guess.

I have the file if anyone wants it. But I can't seem to find a Post attachments button below now. hmm. Those dots are numerous under the handles, on the key hole, and outlining the name card slot.

 		I joined the game after all this stuff took place, but when I saw the dots/stars, I immediately saw Orion... after searching, it looks like somebody else did too, but nothing ever came of that, and somebody else said the famous belt was missing...

Here's what I see (attached)

Not likely to help much now, but just interesting...

EDIT: I think when I blew up the section, I messed up the aspect ratio...Orion is better represented in the small section.

 		someone mentioned once about the program hide'n'seek, or a similar one that is used to hide data in gif files....it says on that program that the best pic to use is one that is grey. i run the program, and tried a few trials, and it worked fine...when i came to try the cabinet gif file, my monitor flickered on and off as it was changing resolution (just like for any pic) but then went back to the program and wudnt load the pic...to this moment it still works for all gifs except the file cabinet one...has anyone else found this problem. ive included the prog so u guys can test it and then reply.

Again, please read the thread you post in... as I told you in the Binary Filenames thread, the file cabinet contains a hidden message that can indeed be recovered by Hideseek, IF you use it properly. Either read it's manual or read this thread, both will in the end present you with the contents of the message.

 		Don't you just love the every friendly people that remind you to read the thread first?

Belittling people dosen't get you points. Working together does.

I would say thanks, but thats not the attribute of a human being...and seeing as you treated me as something OTHER than a human being, I guess I'm not one...and therefore, no thanks for you.

Sorry I didnt listen to what YOU told ME, or at least, sorry for forgetting what you said...next time I will be more attentive to the people with higher post counts compared to me, you are obviously all superior....

Bye, or should I say doei?

Hey, maybe the tone of my message was a bit harsh, and if so, sorry for that, but I don't think that has anything to do with not treating someone as a human being...

There's tons of people just yelling TROUT at people who post stuff that's already been discovered and that was not what my intention was. It's just that I sometimes get a bit tired of people who keep posting stuff that's been discovered and discussed in the very same thread they posted it in. And as I had pointed the steg-message out to you in another thread, I had thought you would read this one first before posting...

And I surely do not want to prevent you from posting fresh and new ideas, just try to read up a bit here for example so you know what has and hasn't been discovered.
