    It can also mean Infinity Engine, obviously... But only when talking about these games. The common meaning is Internet Explorer.

    One question:
    What does BAB mean?
    Base Armor something?
    It has something to do with character stats iirc...

    [Base Attack Bonus, but this is a 3e rule acronym. You should ask about it in the D&D forum.] -Tal

    Base Attack Bonus. That's more of a 3E Dungeons and Dragons question though...

    Back in the good ol' Compuserve days, we used
    <G> Grin
    <BG> Big Grin

    I still use those in email and in NG, as there are no graphical smilies in pure text, just as there wasn't then on Compuserve.

    So there you have another one:
