Back in the 80s/90s, what was the collective term for printers and other devices which were optionally attached to computers. I'm sure there's a word beginning with 'A', but I can't think of if or find it via online thesauruses etc.
Help! |  |

I knew them as peripherals. |  |

The collective term I remember from those days is 'peripherals' but you've got me thinking |  |

Could you be thinking of an 'intranet' which is kind of an internal network?? (why the 'a' is in your mind?) |  | | |

Worse still, we were wrong! His "a word" was "a peripheral"! [Post edited 21 Mar 21:04]

I can only thing that that's sardonic, I mean, some moron started a thread asking for a word which began with a certain letter, only for the answer to be a word beginning with another letter entirely. Playschool stuff really. Jemina failing to identify the right shape for the round window. | |

Well done, Jemina, that's a really good effort. Jemima would you like a try now? | |

Not sardonic at all, just saluting a moment of pure comedy genius
Genuinely the funniest thread on here ever.... GOAT
I'm guessing unintentional, but sensational.
The initial set-up with a slightly random yet plausible request as bait
The cast as you appeal for help in this matter
The patient wait as the prey circle the hook and then
BANG, precision strike and reel us all in
Masterful
Top of the comedy class for you Mr NthQld | | | |

If only I could lay claim to being anything other than a dunce. But thanks for the misplaced kudos.  | |

I was genuinely unsure whether you had mistyped or chosen some unusual whacky name. I don't think that was a feature in the days of Playschool. | |
