Dij is a boy - it's "short" for Digital: when we got him as a kitten he was either ON (and doing a Wall-Of-Death round the room) or OFF (asleep and you could do anything to him you liked and he wouldn't wake up)
He is a member here and visits occasionally: http://www.codeproject.com/Members/Dij-The-Cat[^]
He predecessor was also a member, but he developed a virulent strain of Feline Infectious Peritonitis and we had to let him go. Bill[^] was a lot more active here, since he sat on my keyboard a lot more than Dij does.

Friend has two indoor cats and a mouse problem. Cats watch the mice but given it is a old house the mice do not need to come where the cats are.

Almost every mail received today (announcements, updates, even spam): listen to our radio station because is VD; buy this because etc.
I wonder if Windows Updates will install a valetine.s.day.interop.dll, or congratulate with a system modal dialog, or something.
Today I'm also going to dentist in the evening; if one more human being will stop me with something like this, it will be something like Protoss praetor Fenix assaulting the Zerg cerebrates.

Hey, I know this number you should call for great astrology advice, especially on such a special day as today

Whenever I want to Record something on the Sky+ I always say I'm going to 'Tape' that, much to the amusement of my Missus and Kids. Am I the only one that still says this?
It got me thinking of other terminology that still remains long after the technology has ceased to exist.
I could only come up with 'pull the chain' when going to the lavatory, which is still used despite most toilets no longer have a chain. Others are 'drive' which is used for Cars despite originally referring to driving a horse. Obviously 'Sail' is still used when pertaining to motor driven boats.
Are there any other terms that have outlived the technology they were first used for?

I miss the floppy disk, all those years of 3 1/2 inch floppy disks that were anything but floppy
I know of people who refer to usb drives as floppies

Meh! The 3.5 was a stiffy, you needed 5.25 or 8 for floppy! And this[^] was the dogs!

We still dial and hang up the phone, send carbon copies in emails and have pages in digital media.

How about a visual one? Most applications show a floppy disk icon for the "save" operation.
