haha

11:25 am

moolingwa

it makes more sense than turkish pants from the 16th century, or indian moneylenders from around the same time :)

11:26 am

hokie carla

true, but enable is light on computer technology words

11:26 am

moolingwa

well that is because much of it has happened since enable was created....unlike that archaic tech word :)

11:26 am

BzznBea

i have learned many things about computers and oild fields

11:27 am

hokie carla

how I can't monkey a 4 letter word from a tile in that position in the grid is beyond me.
