I for one would certainly like to know what these terms mean. The only one I have got is a blue clicky thing but as I have helped a few people to get started with computers, I am reasonably familiar with that sort of terminology and worse.

I once worked as Systems Co-ordinator for the production control department of a major UK manufacturing site and some of the things I heard were unbelievable. My favourite that was thrown at me was the chap who came to me telling me that the printer had made a mistake when it printed his personal copy (which was printed on four part paper) of a particular stock report. Even when I produced another copy of the same print job and his wrongly completed input document, I couldn't persuade him that the mistake was his and not the printers!

Thinking of my time at Hotpoint and computers, another of my favourites was an error message that used to come up if somebody made an ommission when entering the production plan - it was the "revenge" of a programmer who was leaving the company and read "Hey Bimbo - do you think I'm clairvoyant or something! - What's the working number?" Another message on the same programme was "Hey, pull the other one - how can you ammend a line that I didn't display!".
