Ewwwww. <BR/><BR/>As far as the etymology of "jiffy", although it's of uncertain origin, it is said to have been slang used among thieves for lightning fast. But in relation to computers, a jiffy is the duration of one tick of the system timer interrupt. So do you know approximately how many system timer interrupts there were on your computer while you were out? Because that's how many jiffys you were gone. Then again, the jiffy isn't an absolute time unit, since it's duration depends on the clock interrupt frequency of the particular hardware platform. <BR/><BR/>So says Wiki.<BR/>And it was spoken.<BR/>Amen.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
