RS232 perhaps...

More likely a centronic parallel printer port

My favorite thing to do in the late 90's early 00's was to screenshot their PC, move all their desktop icons to a hidden folder, move the taskbar to the top or side and hide it, then set said screenshot as their wallpaper and sit and watch

In the early '90s, I worked at a company that had about 100 Macs. One evening, my buddy and I surreptiously changed the beep sound (used for pretty much everything) on all of them to an air raid siren like the fifth one -- 43 secs -- on this list: https://www.soundsnap.com/tags/air_raid. Nobody every locked their machines, so...

Folks here may recall that some Mac alerts had two beeps...and if you clicked during some beeps, it would add a beep...

"I kill me; I really do!"

...(I remapped mine to DVORAK and kept the physical keyboard as QWERTY so no one could mess with mine)...

Oh, you're one of those. Probably still listen to reel-to-reel too.

If you ask a Finn how they are, you get an honest, unfiltered answer. It has confused some foreigners every now and then.
It also took me some time to learn the "right" way to respond to that question.

No, being honest and open is the right way. The American expectation of it being fake and perfunctory is the wrong way.

Being honest is problematic too. I made the same case as you do now.
My post was deleted on the premisse it was political which it obviously was NOT.
Kinda bizar disqualification because I spent years on battle fields and crisis spots as a trauma specialist and am entitled to have thoughts on it.
I risked my life for years to save that of others.

This is the new 98% norm in American conversation. When someone discloses he/she was in the military, the autonomic response is "Thank you for your service." Whether this further evolves into a collective willingness to actually DO anything the help veterans and their families remains to be seen.

Aha. I see.

Geez. Remind me to never ask you how you're doing?

Besides, we say "How y'all doin' ?" here in Texas -- and I always answer "GREAT, I hope you are too!!"

I apologize if any of my comments were considered inappropriate by anyone, but I meant them. If you'd like to put me on ignore I can help you learn how to do that.

 

[Ripper2860]

I hope it wasn't me. I can't really tell since I've ignored myself on the forum.

This might be special enough to make an exception for.
