You know you've been away from the Internet too long when...
Okay, not you - I. I know I've been away and out of touch for too long, because everywhere I turn I see a new and probably very neat abbreviation that I can't make sense of. Makes me feel old. I've seen a whole buch only on this forum this evening.
For instance, what does 'AIM' mean anyway?
I wish there were someplace I could turn with all my questions. A place without mockery, scorn and ridicule; a place with silent approval and sound answers.
Please.
Matrim

Have you run into a 'Pheer Leet' yet?
The creators of that game have a wonderfully warped sense of humour

I dont know. I just dowloaded the whole thing, and applied for a 7-day-free-trial.
