Whats great is if you go to a different forum sometimes they use TC instead of OP (TC standing for Topic Creator)

... Patience? Heck I'd just read a book or play a handheld videogame when I used dialup... and that was during the era of 56k.

Re: What is DUW??
I never would have guessed dial up warning.... I sat here for a while contemplating what the acronym could be. Theres not a ton of words that start with U so I figured if I could figure that out I could get it. It's been bugging me for a little while. Thanks for letting me in on the "warning".

I remember when desktop computers had "turbo" buttons...
I remember when my chat room "Ignore" list contained half of India...

HOLY BAJESUS THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I've never known where Dot Matrix on Reboot got her name from. I know what dot matrix paper is but not by name simply by usage, and now I know... And knowledge is half the battle. *goes to store to buy a baseball bat and get the other half handled*

Actaully Dot Matrix is the type of printer which takes continuous form feed paper which then had to be burst and decollated after printing.

Heh,
I have an old dot matrix printer sitting in the hall I never got around to throwing out - and a box of paper for it in the back room. :giggle:
I'm kind of a tech pack rat - there's probably a baghdad battery around here somewhere. :rolleyes:
