Tinternet etiquette

Post by Northern Lass »

Are you in with the cyber crowd

Do you know your Cookies from your avatars?

Do you understand all that jargon?

I used to use caps to post messages and was informed it was shouting!
:shock:
I never knew that

I have to say I am lost on what they can do today
how about you?

I converted a Telex machine to print from my ZX-81 so that was my first computer printer.

I will tell your a secret.

We fill computers full of jargon and acronyms so they sound far more complicated than what they are.

If everybody realised how easy it is I wouldn't get my six figure income.

I have been in the IT industry for over 30 years and am astounded by the power people have on their desktops or even mobile phones.

Lets just say I used to earn a lot more than 95% of the population but a lot less than a plumber or dentist 8)

But at the moment I am as broke as you can get. I haven't been able to work with the narcolepsy.
