Computer Terms Illustrated
Seems I've still got a few of these to write up. Honestly, dozens. Maybe I could do one of these a day for a month?

The perfect stocking filler. Or, you know, whenever. Birthday, Valentine's Day. Ok, maybe not Valentine's Day. Unless your beloved is a geek like you. Then it would be pretty cool, I guess.

Even with your illustrations...I'm still confused.
You have a picture of my boots - but DM?
Even after Googling I'm confused.
Kaz - I'm so glad you said that. There is always at least one of these that I've never heard of. On this occassion, it's two - I don't know what DM or MIME mean in computer terms. Please enlighten me Farty.
Booshy - Pooters are scary things. Just cross your fingers and hope for the best.
Kaz - Obviously you don't do Twitter.
Liz - And obviously you've never heard of email. Aren't you glad I'm here to illustrate it all for you?
I learn something new every day!
Any chance of illustrating how to put links into blog comments? My abilities don't extend any further than adding bold text.
I know no more about computers than before but I love the Gateway to Hell, particularly the way it looks as though it zips up!
Liz - It's much the same as <b>bold</b> text except that you use <a> instead of <b> and you use href="url" to indicate where the link points to.
Cut and paste this: <a href="http://liz-ordinary.blogspot.com/2009/10/and-wye-not.html">click here<a>
I leave it as an exercise for the reader to figure out how I got the html source to display in this comment. Me so clever.
Taffeta - I kept getting Error 502, so I looked it up: bad gateway. First thing I thought of was "Abandon all hope, ye who enter here". Sounds just like Twitter on a bad day.
"Connected to host" is both disgustingly foul and wondrously fantastic.
I would have called that one "sucking face". Not a computer term (that I know of), but still...
Thank you Farty; I have learned two things from your blog this week.
Read 'Better Oot Than In' - it's more worthwhile than going to work!
Lesley - *takes a bow*
#Debi - You could probably call it an interface, of sorts.
Liz - Anything is more worthwhile than going to work.
