There doesn't seem to be a Three Letter Acronym for @ Maybe it's a "Reduced Three Letter Acronym"

Lotus just seem to call their stuff @FUNCTIONS

I was thinking he would have done them like John Hallmén, but he actually uses about 25 - 100 link

Interesting and they both haven't picked up that it's been used in Lotus 123 since 1983 to the present day. It could have also been used in VisiCalc in 1979. I bet Lotus had a name for it?

It's unlikely that a stack of 10 would be done by hand. It would need some sort of microscopic adjuster on the tripod.

All good, but No. 4 is my favourite, I like the way the Red Kites looking round.

Ha! Ha! You've got it the wrong way round John

@ is an abbreviation for "at" not the other way round
It doesn't describe it and isn't it's name? Most other countries as Gwyn has said have a name for it.

Bored clerks used to add all kinds of nice flowing embellishments to invoices that they used to write and this was one of them.

Pre-computers in the mid 70's I used to buy photographic materials from a wholesalers (Sangers) and there was an old guy called Norman there that used to do the invoices by hand and they were a work of art.... written in biro with a very fancy Copperplate touch. I used to wonder how Sangers put up with the cost of such fancy writing, until I actually saw him write one out he was about twice as fast as I could have scribbled it.

It only survived on the PC because Lotus used it in 123

There's no English word for @ (la petite escargot or something in French)so why bother about what / called

XXCOPY is better than Robocopy and that accepts filenames within spaces on the Command Line. I never exactly tried a file with spaces but wildcards copy them OK. Still be better if they weren't used. The worst one is the "Program Files" dir.

XXCOPY C: D: / CLONE :::: Clones all files C; to D:
(Two backslash chars after C: and D: have been dropped).

Probably the worst thing MS ever did was allow spaces in file names. It causes all sorts of problems with other OS's and quite a lot of Windows programs and you finish up with filenames on websites that look a mess. Parsing the filenames properly is not always possible.

At least they won't allow you to save hidden files that just have names like " " or " " or " " which would make it hard to find malware. (this forum sware is removing several spaces and replacing them with one).

I don't know if Windows would let you change a filename to all spaces with a disk editor?

How many email programs do you think would handle an email address with a space properly? Could they handle emails with double spaces?

I seem to remember something about the 60's fashion tog Duffy leaving
the lens cap on a Leica on his first job

There was something wrong with the Pentax K2? I think you could
set the exposure compensation to =/- 2 stops and then forget about
it. I think they put a reminder (orange popup) in the K2DMD ?

Nice and sharp and the branch colours blend in well with the bird.
Even the green bud adds something to the picture.
