AAAAAARRRRGGGGHHHHH! I don't know what happened, but the post contains a huge empty space, I think that the HTML code is correct, so maybe the mods can fix it.
Sorry for this

You know, my favorite computer acronym still has to be TWAIN. It's legit meaning is;

Technology Without An Interesting Name

[aym]

Nice one , but why is this empty space added??

[reboot]

When you insert a table into a message, the BBS software screws up, and doubles the needed space, thus the empty. Nothing you can do about it.

There is really not anything much that you can do for the open space at the top. The reason it does this is because every time you enter down a line to drop in some more code it adds a line break like this:
<TABLE width="90%" border=2>
<BR>
<TR>
<BR>

These line breaks thrown in there create all the open space in your table.
You could fix it by having all your code on one line without pressing the enter key like so:
<TABLE width="90%" border=0><TR><TD> , etc.

No way, I think you guys are lying, is that what TWAIN really stands for?

I like all the rest of them though.

I knew it:

TWAIN*, which comes from the saying "Ne'er the twain shall meet" because the Data Source Manager sits between the driver and application, is the de facto interface standard for scanners. Nearly all scanners come with a TWAIN driver, which makes them compatible with any TWAIN-supporting software. Unfortunately, not all scanner software is TWAIN-compatible.


*According to TWAIN.org, TWAIN is not an acronym for "Technology Without An Interesting Name."

That seems like a reliable source ... unless it's some type of conspiracy.

I like RAID: redundant array of INEXPENSIVE disks...
try taking a networking class, you'll be up to your eyeballs in acronyms!

[HAL9000]

I've actually heard two variations for RAID, that one, and one where the I = Independant.
