When you try to put a USB-A plug into a socket, your first attempt usually fails, so you rotate it 180° and it still fails, so you rotate it a further 180° and it succeeds.

Win 98 was a respectable version of the Win OS line up ...
I cant quite remember if it was the first that USB was useable on ?

I don't get the joke as I'm literally using a keyboard from the same generation as I'm typing this! I'm still using the keyboard I got with the computer I bought - used - in '95-'96. Yes, it has one of these:davenn said:saw this one elsewhere

Try a fresh 9V battery on your tongue. Most people kind'a wish they hadn't.fresh_42 said:I doubt that you could wake me up with 9V.
Oh, I don't know. I think maybe if a nose ring shorted across a 3v battery it would heat up enough that you would likely notice pretty quickly.fresh_42 said:I doubt that you could wake me up with 9V.
Actually, I'd be suspicious of any school that offers a degree in "aplied mathematics".jack action said:
