    Default question

    Hi Guys
    May seem a bit silly but what is the little tree like thing under the avatars and please don't ask me to run my mouse over it
    if it was working properly I would LOL
    but it has up and died and so do you know how difficult it is to try and type in an internet forum while trying remember all those damm hot keys
    hell takes me back to high school when we had those awful mark sensor cards for computing assignments and the pdp 11 was the size of a room LOL

    That's it first thing tomorrow I'm buying a new mouse
    Cheers Bio

    I remember PDP 11's 34s through to 70s - and they were only the size of a large filing cabinet - and pretty good tools for the time too! Good ol' RSTS

    Oh! the answer to your Q! It's the accreditation / dis-accreditation symbol, or put more simply where you can give "greenies", "blueys" or - "reddies"!

    Cheers!

    Ah, PDP-11, can you remember how to PIP?

    The greenies and reddies are reputation points system. Check out this. http://www.woodworkforums.ubeaut.com...q_new_faq_item
