Hello, TexasEyes. We have some good friends in Lovelady. Last name Otis.

Sorry, I haven't met any Otis family thus far since I have been here. My wife and daughter probably have but I don't get around as much as they do.
I do know a lady who owns Otis Appliance in Huntsville, if that is a connection. Thanks for the shout out.

HEMIzygote

HEMI - my favorite engine
zygote - genetics term

HEMIzygote - sounded unique so I went with it.

Goes back to CB Radio days -- I used it as a handle back then, being in the USAF and "drifting" all over the world.

I totally laughed out loud for that one (or as the kids these days call it, "LOL'd").

Greeting all - I just found my way here.

I'm an old computer geek...even today, part of my job is making industrial computers communicate with each other.

NAK is "Negative Acknowledgement". It can be roughly translated to "I hear you, but your not making sense"

:) I remember your post from the first page of this thread...

BBS at 300 baud (half duplex), IF your line, their line and everything in between would support it. Big boards with numbers in more than one city (but the long distance lines usually had trouble supporting it)..

I remember paying $999 for to upgrade from 4K to 16K of RAM and thinking I was hot stuff.

Connecting your modem to a serial printer so you could capture the conversation to figure out what was going wrong in the connect sequence.

Not the good old days

Bad Company Lyrics:

I was born 6-gun in my hand. Behind a gun I'll make my final stand.That's why they call me Bad company I can't deny Bad company Till the day I die.

45ACP round of choice.

Both were already taken individually when I joined another board some years ago so I combined them, Best of both worlds.

T3hK1w1...I've always had a soft spot for kiwi birds, and I'm enough of a geek that I decided to do it in l33tsp33k. A bonus is that I have NEVER gotten a "this username is unavailable" notice when registering onto one of the many forums I frequent
