Tell me Old One, can you rearrange the letters of "new door" to make one word? -Elf

Yes, there is a single way, but let the others answer before I tell you. - 8-Ball

Ah grasshopper this is far too easy for the likes of the SysOpt crowd.
Not to spoil it too soon but to add another hint:

Seek the enlightenment of "proper punctuation".

I know, but I ain't telling.

Hows about this one, 8-Ball:

"I am the beginning of eterniny, the end of time and space, the beginning of every end, and the end of every race. What am I?"

An old one, from some film I believe, but as remember it goes along the lines of:

What is more powerful than God, more Evil than the Devil, and if you eat it, you'll die?

I'm sure I missed something, but the effect is the same /forum/smile.gif

Titan ~ I don't think so. The Old One has lived a very long time. - Elf

Mmmm. - 8-Ball

The second answer is contained in the first. The third I can guess.

DavidX ~ Your reply is a puzzle to me. - 8-Ball

Give me minute, I used to be pretty good at this.

What language would like that in Elf?

Got anything else puzzling?

8-Ball~ Put on your ancient alien spectacles and take a closer look at the third letter of the answer to the first riddle.

Elf~ Go easy on the Old One. He's just been spending too long on his Osborne. Those tiny screens adle the brain /forum/wink.gif Eventually, he'll just have to join the Earthlings and get a real computer - with text you can actually read!

DavidX ~ Oh. I seee. /forum/wink.gif - 8-Ball

He has the 12" green screen OzMon! Your statement was of the obvious but hardly an answer or clue. - Elf

Elf~ One doesn't wish to be too obvious by giving answers or even further clues and spoil it for others. Earthlings are not as advanced as your beings and some may not have got it yet /forum/wink.gif

That is exactly my plight. I am an Earthling who hasn't got it yet. - Elf

Patience, Little One. - 8-Ball
