Which just goes to show, how terminology gets altered from one generation to the next. Dirk Taylor's reply confirms the original usage. Ok, so I'm an old fart, but I don't need you kids telling me what a word means, when I know it means one thing, when it used to mean another. This is a bit like most music these days, that samples stuff from thirty or so years ago. When I start singing along to the 'latest' club anthem, my 17 year-old daughter looks at me and says 'How come you know this?, it's only just been released' - oh yeah! Anyway, 'nuff of this dork stuff. I really enjoy looking into this site, and seeing the creative offerings, some really imaginative stuff here, wish I could do it so well. Pete (47 going on 16)
