Archived It's a PDA, not a gun

[Megaparsec]

Seriously, I get "shot" by people with a PDA about three times a day. I realize that's not too much, but we're adults here. I do realize the PDA is shaped like a gun, but that doesn't necessitate "shooting" people with it.

Who's an adult here?
Have to plead guilty, haven't done it lately but there were a few times when I've 'shot' people.

PDA laser tag. Gotta do something to pass the time.

You mean it's a gun and a PDA.

It does bother me when I hear the word "gun" used over the walkie in reference to the PDA.

"Hey, did my pulls drop into the gun?"

As a guest, I'd feel a little uncomfortable hearing the word gun spoken all around the store.

i turned my PDA into a lazer gun once, got into the sound files and theres one thats a lazer beam sound, set it to loop and let the fun begin!

You're all wrong

its the continuum transfunctioner.

I wish it were a gun. Perhaps your coworkers feel the same way.

You have to make the "Pew Pew" sound for full effect. I always have an LPDA, so those rare days I have a PDA, I admit to some laser tag fun.

If there was a "like" button on this forum, it would be used.

You are the 2nd person to refer to a PDA as a PDT... what does PDT stand for? The first person who mentioned it (Backroom SrTL had no idea, yet calls it a PDT all the time..

Portable Data Terminal. Think of a device that looks like your PDA but it ONLY runs the "RFApps" stuff. Its an older term for a more single purpose device. It couldn't play mp3s or check your email or chat on MSN like your PDAs could (if they weren't prevented by the firewall!)

 

[Formina Sage]

Yeah the PDT was the precursor to the PDA. Some people still use this legacy term to refer to the new devices.

 

[therealtd]

Better yet, LRT's.

The continuum transfunctioner is a very mysterious and powerful device and it's mystery is exceeded only by it's power.
