Oops. Erm... as you were.  

I may have deleted my browsing history/eaten my cookies/emptied my cache thing since I was last here. 

Welcome to the techno-eejit club Ducky  

 I have nothing to say Ducky...

Idiot

taught her everything she know

I was a founding member Rosie!  

Next lesson: how to put an S on the end of a word. 

I've been having trouble with my wi-fi. It's made me a bit paranoid and quick to panic 

What does the "fi" bit mean?

Fings. 

Wireless fings  

It doesn't 'mean' anything. It's just a short cut for 'wireless networking' 

Wire-less and fire-less

Meaning there are no wires or erm . . . fires, apparently

 Ummm...

Wi-Fi - Wireless-Fidelity. Supposedly a pun on Hi-Fi. High-Fidelity.

I think you'll find it's Wireless Fireless 

Keep up

Actually, I posted a bit about it a while ago........methinks it's you that needs to keep up  

Silly girl.

Fi means summit, surely

I've just returned from the induction for the computer course I've enrolled for.

In a few weeks time I'm gonna be a real whiz at everything techy.

What does "fi" mean Soozy?

No! Search it 

Ok bossy

No, just practical 

It says "Wi-Fi is a shortened version of the term 'Wireless Fireless' because without any wires there can't be no fires"

Huh !! 

*Departs*   I'll leave you to your own little world 

For this one, I consulted a man who was there at the beginning: Alex Hills, author ofWi-Fi and the Bad Boys of Radio. His answer:

"Way back in 1999 the fledgling wireless industry needed a marketing name for the new products that conformed to the technical specifications called 'IEEE 802.11'. 'IEEE 802.11' didn't have much of a ring to it, and the industry association wanted a catchy name. They came up with wi-fi, and that's what's been used ever since.

"It didn’t hurt that the name rhymes with 'hi-fi,' which was short for 'high fidelity,' a term that, back in the day, referred to high-quality sound systems. Some people even say that wi-fi therefore stands for 'wireless fidelity,' but those who were involved in the industry association's process of selecting a name say it's not really true. They say that the name was always just wi-fi."

the end 

   Hi Ducky!

Flogging a dead horse there, methinks.

Well i'm standing by Wireless Fireless.

Oh yes

Watch that dead horse doesn't fall over on top of you!

Yer standing on yer own then  

Time for me to depart in case I say something I regret to the unfunny idiot that is you 

Cheers Sprout - always drag it down to insults

and you'd be wrong, but if it keeps you happy 

Just had to log back in and say.........no, not normally  

But......deffo gawn now. 

Miserable cah . . . just returning the favour
