[Leica] what does IMG stand for? (now: OT, no IMG, no PESO, NO ARCHIVE)

[dommorris at rogers.com (Dominic Morris)]

Hoppy,

Neither, actually, but I use a lot of acronyms at work and take pride  
in being able to figure out new ones from context. I got PAW & IMG  
real quick but PESO has been bugging me - so curiosity won out over  
machismo and I went and checked the Acronym Attic.  It felt like  
cheating on a crossword puzzle. Came up with Pilipino Erotic Stories  
Online among others, but that didn't sound right. Then did the email  
equivalent of RTFM and went looking for the FAQ. Couldn't find one.  
Before shredding the very last vestige of manly dignity and actually  
asking I remembered the question about IMG and that there had been  
some discussion - tracked it down, but even that felt like getting  
the clues from looking over someone's shoulder.

As you can see, I finally had to just come out and ask. It's like why  
does it take 100,000,000 sperm to fertilize 1 egg? It's a guy thing -  
they don't like asking for directions.

Time zones - cute. I was wondering about that.

So which US states are at the farthest east, west, north and south?  
Not a trick question, I promise, but it does relate.

Thanks,
Dom

old threads for fun!
It took me a minute to remember, but I think that I was adding a  
small pun to that numbers gag thread by suggesting that the numbers
be adjusted by the time zone difference.
  I'm about 17/18 hours ahead of our North American correspondents.
  I think that Tina may have coined "PESO" or at least that was who I  
asked the first time I ran into it. I tried PABMO a couple of
times for picture a bit more often but I don't think it made it into  
the LUG dictionary.

Cheers
Hoppy

Pardon my innocence, but what does PESO mean?
Is there a FAQ ?

Ta, ever so.

Didier,

I like it! We can boil it down even further to numbers.  Like the one  
about long term prisoners in adjoining cells, who use a
numerical code to cycle thru the old jokes they all know by heart:

Prisoner 1 ("Kyle"):  3.
Prisoner 2 ("Sonny"): Haw haw haw!
Prisoner 1 ("Kyle"):  9!!
Prisoner 3 ("B.D."):  Hey, that's not funny.
Prisoner 4 ("Mark"):  3.141592 ...
Prisoner 5 ("Ted"):   1066, 1492, 1776 ye laddies.
Prisoner 6 ("Gary"):  4/3.
Prisoner 7 ("Doug"):  280, 400, 560.
Prisoner 8 ("Jeffery"):  50. 50. 50. 50. 50. 50.
Prisoner 9 ("Unsubscribe"):  0.
