Sorry - incomprehensible. Lacking the rudiments of English, with no grammar
or syntax used.
Try asking your question without forum or text-speak languages.

Is English a second or third language for you? If so, may I
suggest that you try posting your question in a news group dedicated to
your native language? I say this not to insult or offend, but rather to
point out that you're not likely to get much help, if no one can
understand what you're asking.

Otherwise, I'd suggest you start by reposting in standard English,
complete with paragraphs, sentences, capital letters where appropriate,
and punctuation. As it is, your post is quite undecipherable: some of
the the words used are from the English language, but are completely
meaningless as currently assembled.

Terrible when people start to use text messaging and chat on these
newsgroups, isn't it?

It's mostly terrible for those who those who do it, because it enormously
decreases their chance of getting the answer they are looking for. When I
see messages like the one below, my eyes just glaze over and I go on to the
next message. If someone is too lazy to take the trouble to write standard
intelligible English, I'm not going to take the trouble to try to help him.
I'm certainly not going to go to extra lengths to try to figure out what he
means. I assume many others here feel the same way as I do.

I'd make the effort for someone who clearly is not a native English speaker,
but not for someone who wants to save hinself the work of writing clearly,
thereby making extra work for me.

I think it is not the first time for this poster in the groups.
I am sure the bit about Circuit City rings a bell.
It is indeed a shame - they may well be in dire trouble?

This is not a chat group or text messaging forum. We use the English
language in these groups. We use things called words, which are arranged
into things called sentences, and sentences can then be arranged in
paragraphs.

We do this because it makes our posts easy to read, and we don't like
illiterate teenagers when we post.

I suggest you take a deep breath and try your questions again, using
standard English. Before you do that, you should use a good search engine,
such as www.google.com, or a good on-line reference, such as
www.wikipedia.org , to search for the answers to your kindergarten level
questions (there is no reason to not Google for such simple matters as "What
is an IP address").

I totally agree when you say in dire trouble re: "Curcuit City (sic)" not to
mention the English problems.

Ken, we all try to help those that do not use English as a first language.
The worse part is that the "kids" are now using some of the slang from text
and chat in normal conversation. It is just like the person at McDonalds
(or other fine eating establishments) that can't make change when you give
them $10.07 for a $9.47 meal without a calculator or cash register doing the
math for them. Some of these are high school graduates. It is called the
dumbing-down of America.

No prompting please - its 50cents - right?

 

[NewScience]

Please stop using abbreviations for words and phrases:

puter = computer
2 = to
r = are
??'s = questions
w/ = with
Anti-V = Anti-Virus
u = you
mf = You got us - lost on what this abbreviation is

Just a tidbit ... in most cases ... if you cannot take the time to enter
comprehensible, non-crypted posts ... don't be surprised if you do not
receive any support.

<<snipped>>

Just a thought that this person might not only be computer
illiterate but just plain illiterate and unable to read any
published books or even the instruction manuals and sheets
that are available. Too much time spent before the computer
screen instead of communicating normally with the written
word.
