So ergo, you are not a newbie :) Unfortunately, these days I think I'm reverting to newbie as I forget more than I learn :( |

| 165446 | 2003-08-05 09:59:00 | I would like to know the real origin of TTFN, which is now world wide. As far as I'm aware, it started as a catch phrase along with many others in ITMA (It's That Man Again... ie. Tommy Handley), a 'wireless' BBC program during the war. However it may be older than that, anyone know? | Terry Porritt (14) | ||

Morris Minor. I don't do that on the car I use now. Reminds me of the Doctor who specialises in ENT and then concentrates on the Left nostril. None of us knows everything. I am 61 years old and have not stopped learning yet. Try reading Computer magazines. Join the local PC User group. Tweak your PC until it breaks but make sure you have a backup before you do that. |
