SgtFuryUSCZ Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 (edited) ***/// We periodically go to a favourite currency conversion page (has f's, x's & pros in it..wink, wink.) and on the left you drop down, click on Iraqi Dinar, then in the box on the right, it is always on the default currency - British Pounds - so we click it to USD, then hit the "calculate" thingy... Well... today we went in like normal, and whatta ya know: It was NOT already showing British Pounds in the "convert to" box when we selected IQD in the box on the left , THIS TIME IT WENT STRAIGHT TO USD ALL BYY ITSELF.... Does this mean the IQD is no longer pegged to the British Pound, BUT TO THE USD...?! WASSUP.....?! Edited August 8, 2013 by SgtFuryUSCZ 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tankdude Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 I think it means a cookie was finally downoaded onto your computer that sends a message to the site that your preferred preference is USD. Hate to be a spoil sport - but computers are my business, and I tend to be a bit pragmatic...as you may have noticed.... But I do have an obtuse sense of humor to offset that.... and the Dalai Lama said,"... but when you die, on your deathbed, you will receive total consciousness." So I got that goin' for me, which is nice. (My apologies to Caddy Shack) 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
