Instead of being a trolling arse... why not put on your big boy pants and ask the man directly?  I know it would be against your nature.

I've tried PMing him, he seems to be busy.  Why don't you learn some manners?  I know it would be against your nature.

I'm under the impression that he's been a bit under the weather lately.

Must be why HiTech has been doing some moderating...     

That's OK, as long as he isn't doing any spell checking        :noid

SCSI....its an interface thing.

shamus

A few computers ago...........I had a couple hard drives (10k'ers) hooked up to a scuzzy card.........it literally turbo-charged the computer.
For that time period, programs opened up with blazing speed.

I heard he missed shaving for about 7 days.

Obviously it can't be in reference to SCSI. :)

The abbreviated version.

In high school I was a beach bum.  I went to work one day, after falling asleep at the beach.  One of the coworkers said I looked really skuzzy.  It stuck.

Later in life, I was part of the design team at Adaptec which did all of thier SCSI host adapters and I also wrote all the UNIX drivers for all the adapters as well.  They called me "Mr. SCSI", and here we are.

Back in those days "SCSI" was pronounced "sexy" before the "scuzzy" pronunciation took over so............well?

Is there more to this story?

Originally, when it was SASI (the precursor to SCSI), it was "sassy".  Then when the SCSI draft was approved it became "sexy".  Then I got involved and no one wanted to call me "Mr. Sexy", soooooo......there ya have it.
