Definitely scusi My main gripe was modem and how it was pronounced - everyone seemed to get that one wrong and not many understood modulator - demodulator - which is where 'modem' derived from in the first place.

Folk might show their age by this one, but remember what a Wimp computer was?

Windows, icons, mouse, pointers!

Then there is mouse! The classic - movement operated utility selection equipment.

Then there were the days when worm stood for write once read many.

Remember when we had Mugs? Multi-user gamer, not quite sure gamers call themselves that these days.

Another 'm' classing was Mud - the multi user dungeons and dragons, since then they're now called RPG - not rocket propelled grenades, roll playing games.

Showing my age here now, so I shall sit and reminisce about the good 'ol days!
