I did indeed forget about Ozi .... who was ferreting away with me earlier.


so halo polish for her as well.

It was Astra who found what neither Ozi and I had thought about .............. although I had tried looking for Eleanor, no surname. What popped out at Astra, didn't pop out at me!

I was certain that Dongle is not a new word --- when I was programming years ago --- before IBMs PCs------------ dongle was used

Found this

Dongle has been used as a placeholder name since the 1970s. Its origin is unknown. The American Heritage Dictionary, 4th edition, says it is "probably [an] arbitrary coinage." A 1992 advertisement for Rainbow Technologies (now SafeNet—a dongle vendor in the U.S) claimed the word was derived from the name "Don Gall"—though untrue, this has given rise to an urban myth.

Dongle as the name of a device was used well before 1980 in the telecom industry to refer to BNC cable joiners of either gender.

hmmmm


obviously none of youse is really from Liverpool, where the following was commonly used among students .....................................


"The angle of the dangle is proportional to the heat of the meat.'

or 'The angle of the dangle in relation to the angle of the tunnel.'



only I almost invariably see dongle as dangle.




:-D :-D :-D

although what I said earlier still applies


dongle is not a word that is used over here in Canada. I've asked several people, in and out of the industry, and they just look at me blankly!

HELLO ALL..

I am still alive and kicking as most of you know from the "dark side"as Dea calls it but with all the probs on here and what with the over work and underpay and not enough hours in the day for everything I have been staying orf here on purpose so I do not get tempted to spend too much time Yakking or making thankless searches.... :-D

Bet none of yer aint missed me anyhow.... :-P :-P :-P :-P

BYE ALL..~~~~~~~~~~~ :-(

Yakking!

Yup! Did miss you. A couple of ancient posts were nudged up on the boards ......V...

Don't care what anyone says-I'm with Sylvia on this. "Dongle" should not be used in a sentence in mixed company.

Mo <3 ;-)

:-D

yep we did miss ya FBG



it was so quiet on here ..... apart from C, of course.

:-D :-D :-D



luvs ya, really!

Time for yakking?

Chance would be a fine thing with the error messages and this laptop playing up.

Following on from the bank thing...It is a long while since I worked for one and debit cards were a new thing with a maximum of £100 at that time anyway.

About a year ago I had someone get hold of my debit card details online and tried to use it...card was stopped which was a pain as it was my main account, but a new one issued.

I decided that I would use my spare account for online use which I only kept a balance of approx £100 in that way if it happened again they could not get away with much and it would not affect my everyday use.

I upgraded my anc*stry subs the other week and they took the money, but they said there was a refund of £7.95 which I was surprised about as it was only for one day. I checked my bank accounts and the £155 came out of the no 2 account but the refund went to my main account, as I had only given the card details how did they know my bank details? that card was stopped, so it could not be credited back to it....very strange

I'm guilty of posting the same message on two boards.

I wasn't sure where to put it, so used both.

Two great-aunts, they are neither ancestors nor living (born in 1894 and 1899).

It's my ONLY post asking for help.

don't worry Catherine ..... we won't hang, draw and quarter you! :-D :-D


It just prevents duplication of work ........... 2 or more people trying to find the information on 2 or more threads all asking the same thing.



we'll forgive you!

it's quite amazing what banks can do!!

You have quite a large tree more than a few thousand don't you Catherine? How do you find the new format with having a large tree?

Tec has a dongle, Allan, Carole and I got the giggles when in the middle of a morning's (my morning) conversation he said from out of nowhere "my dongle has a blue light on it."

I had to go and google.. I had never heard of it and then I saw the sketch on youtube with Ronnie Corbett at the fruit shop.

Even getting on here has been slow for me of late so I play freecell while I wait and I have been known to finish it before GR arrived.

Hello Dea... I hear you even ventured over to the other side to vent your complaints... very impressive. :-) :-) :-) :-)
