wtf does WYSIWYG mean??
I've seen the thing written all over the place, I know what they are I just have no idea what it stands for.

I can get this one.

What You See Is What You Get

...okay ... I wasn't expecting that...

cheers tho

Expecting something more technical were ya? lol

One of my favorite tech acronyms is POTS line. A POTS line is the kinda phone you have at your house. Just a standard analog line. Its a term used by anyone who works on telephone systems. PBX's and what not....Know what it stands for?

Plain Old Telephone System

lol

WYSIWYN

Anyone know that? Saw it on HomeSite somewhere.

WYSIWYN= What you see is what you need (?)

what you see is what you need.

OK. I was one second behind(!)

Yeah, that's it. I was hoping it would take a while, ah well...

Here's one:

WYSIWYM

(if you're having trouble, think document structure)

Is it "What You See Is What You Markup"?

BTW, I like the beard now, TechSited!

I never belived what TWAIN stood for ages, it was too bizarre to be true!

what does it stand for?

Technology Without An Interesting Name

You're kidding me?!?!

I wouldn't of guessed that one!

I love POTS, I've been yelling out for POTS when I can't fint the phone.

Nope, thats why It took me so long to believe it!

It's from Rudyard Kiplings "The Ballad of East and West"...."...and never the twain shall meet". Serious.

Nope its definatly 'Technology Without An Interesting Name'

Chgeck this out:- http://www.techweb.com/encyclopedia/...wain&x=29&y=15

Isn't that a sort of self-defeating name? I mean the name TWAIN actually IS interesting.

I posted the url to the TWAIN website. It's from the horse's mouth.

I think I overdid it.

'TWAIN' is great.

I've seen What You See Is What You Meant

Never the twain shall meet. Technology Without An Interesting Name. Heh. I just cannot believe the rationale. Thing is when you are reading Kipling, you would never think of scanners...

lol @ paroxysm

Almost...

What You See Is What You Mean (used to refer to documents that separate content and formatting - such as HTML docs that use stylesheets). Also the LyX word processor claims to be the first WYSIWYM word processor (maybe they're forgetting FrameMaker...)
