Has anyone else noticed tha sometimes characters ge dropped when typing here in the forum? I have to go bac and check everything twice since I upgraded to Win 7 and IE 8 ...

I'm only a 2-finger typist as well, so excessive speed can't be the cause. - And yes, I did notice the "m" missing in th header, ad the other ones incuded here. These are typical examples ....

I am primarily on a Win XP/FF 4 environment, but I also use Win 7/IE 8 and I haven't had this issue.

I knew someone who did this in their training, and confused the instructor to no end.

I remember writing "TFC", as an abbreviation for "TABLE FILE CAR", on the board during Top Gun Training at 1250 Broadway (IBI's location at the time) which led to a discussion about the LET command. I only did the TFC as not to write out the complete TABLE FILE CAR. But, something good always (normally) comes out of everything...

Just some thoughts... Roll Eyes
