It is a very common term used primarily by programmers meaning that for whatever reason the data on the hard disk pertaining to the OS has reversed itself. Meaning that all the magnetic 1's and 0's on the hard disk have switched to 0's and 1's respectively. This can be very disorienting when it happens in allocation blocks where your OS extents files reside because it makes your computer reverse all the images translated to your Monitor as well as other chaos. So if you are trying to trouble shoot your Dial Up internet connection you have to remember to open and check the following: lenaP lortnoC PI\PCT lenaP lortnoC sseccA etomeR KlatelppA Etc. Most people have a problem wrapping their brains around such a conundrum, but I'm sure Clark will prevail as his brains are rather malleable. Kyle H. Hansen -- Every mammal on this planet instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with the surrounding environment, but you humans do not. You move to an area and you multiply and multiply until every natural resource is consumed. The only way you can survive is to spread to another area. There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern...do you know what it is?
