Windows and Unix don't have a monopoly on geek codes (-:!

Ok, but it has computery origins.

Actually, it's not like any geek code I've ever seen so maybe it's a
****-take? I'd be interested in its meaning, if anything.

It's a very light-hearted one: see
http://www.lowfield.co.uk/archers/geek.html for details. (Probably a
decade or two old.) DNAf - Douglas Adams fan.

Argh! I wish I hadn't asked (but thanks for telling me, anyway).
I would be somewhat lower than "Ar-" as I know it's still on and
when I hear that music immediately change the station.

Since I've never listened to an episode I don't know why that music
irks me so much; it's like a warning. Perhaps its something I remember
as a kid growing up in the 1950s - we always hated what our parents
liked although I don't have conscious memory of them being fans. Maybe
its my general hatred of soap operas and indeed, "why is this crap
still on".
