Gonna take a wild guess on this one, A B C D E F

 

You seem to be the one, loyal fan of this QOTD. No one else likes wireless?

 

Answer time. Sorry, Punkboy. Not today. Correct answer is ABCE. Typical WLAN devices are always half-duplex and Layer 2. More later...for my one, loyal fan.

 

Trip, maybe if you held back with the answers for a couple of days others might join in the fun. According to my screen, you posted the answer at 5:45am and Punboy posted his reply at 2:14am. As I sit here having just got up and made my first coffee for the day, it is 8:30am. So, most of this thread happened whilst I was bye byes

You know I like questions and I think yours are excellent btw, so could you give us time zone challenged peeps a break?

Keep up the good work!

Pete

 

Good thought, Pete. I usually try to post my QOTDs consistant with forum (and thus UK) time since it seems to be the schedule used by most of the members...after all, the vast majority of them live more or less in the same time zone.

Usually, I try to put them up around midnight forum time (that's about 5 p.m. my time) and answer no earlier than 8 p.m. the same day forum time (about 1 p.m. the following day for me). That gives everyone a full work day plus part of the evening to get a shot in. I have no problem leaving the QOTD up longer but I was getting the occasional impatient post saying "So what is the answer, Trip?". <sigh>

I assume that's Saturday morning. It's still Friday afternoon here. You must be about an hour later than Tokyo time (I keep that in mind for obvious reasons). I'm thinking about what to make for dinner and who'll be home to eat it. Ah the joys of a multinational, multitimezone forum.
