WispaRed7 calling @MI5 & Co

would it be better if I looked up the abbreviations in Wikipedia, to save members time ?

I've never used Wikipedia before

is it something I download/install ? I do hope not, I'm not very good at that kind of thing

Jane if you wanted to use Wikipedia as you suggested ....just type this into the search bar of your laptop

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page .....(if you bookmark that link you can access it easily).

Or alternatively.... you could go into Google and type in the abbreviation you are looking for?

I personally use Google a lot...:smileywink:
