I've learned from this post the Commodore-only word KERNAL. Only knew the other one. But I understand the thread was a JOKE about spelling / misspelling. Don't take it too serious, man! After all, it's only for fun (I thought Amiga is the fun computer)

I still like the fact that C++ means C+1. Great geeky humour. :-)

The ++ is the increment operator. Really C++ means "C incremented".
You can see the same joke when someone refers to XML as SGML--, instead of HTML++.

This thread is getting more and more nerd / geek ...  :lol:
I love that!

I'm a Pascal programmer, but I can read and understand C as much as I dislike it.  

Kudos for PASCAL!

Coding in Algol on a big heavy loud old minicomputer is just pure fun.  I used to have a Wang the size of 4 A2000's (okay, don't blame me if you don't really know what a Wang is! :roll: ) and I would write really stupid Algol programs on it just because I didn't know what else to do with it.  I had free electricity back then and I'd use my Wang to heat my apartment.  Mostly it just displayed the boot screen:

:lol:

Thanks!  I really appreciate that, I wasn't sure if anyone would care for it.  I was pretty tired one night and I was posting something about OS4 and A500's and I typed hSO without even thinking about it!  And then, I realised I can type most of the Amiga model names that way and quite a few other words!

It's very easy to figure out your signature: you only have to rotate your TFT... ;-)
