A man attempting to set up his new printer called the printer's tech support number, complaining about the error message: "Can't find the printer." On the phone, the man said he even held the printer up in front of the screen, but the computer still couldn't find it. And another user was all confused about why the cursor always moved in the opposite direction from the movement of the mouse. She also complained about how hard it was to hit the buttons. She was quite embarrassed when we asked her to rotate the mouse so the tail pointed away from her. You Know You're Addicted to the Internet if... - You laugh at people with 9600-baud modems. - Tech support calls YOU for help. - You name your children Eudora, Mozilla and Dotcom. - You can't call your mother ... she doesn't have a modem. Even if you're new to email communication, it isn't long before you start thinking that you should have majored in typing. Here are some commonly used email abbreviations and their meanings for those who are typing impaired or short on time: BTW - By The Way FYI - For Your Information IMHO - In My Humble/Honest Opinion RTFM - Read The Manual LOL - Laughing Out Loud RSN - Real Soon Now ROTFL - Rolling On The Floor Laughing TTYL - Talk To You Later TIA - Thanks In Advance EMOTICONS If words can't express what you are feeling, try these commonly used symbolic gestures to express yourself: |
|
| :-) | Basic smiley, used with a sarcastic or joking statement since
we can't hear voice inflection over e-mail. |
| ;-) | Winky smiley. User just made a flirtatious and/or sarcastic
remark. More of a "don't hit me for what I just said" smiley. |
| :-( | Frowning smiley. User did not like that last statement or is
upset or depressed about something. |
| :-| | Indifferent smiley. Better than a :-( but not quite as good as a :-) |
