I'm so old I can remember....

I'm almost 30 and I know that isn't old but I remember cassette tapes, VHS, and rotary phones. I substitute teach a bit here and there and I think it's amusing to see the kids trying to use their cell phones all hours of the day. It's like they're inseparable and I we didn't even have cell phones when I was in high school. :mellow:

Our teachers used DVD players to show us videos as early as elementary school but the DVDs were the size of records. Most of the videos we watched were still off an old reel projector...if it'd work.

crono782 your signiture is intresting.
|Ω:2456273|ⁿ:2456308|4D4D:?|
I am trying to decyper it.
My first questions?

I have some socal questions are you a statustition, have you had calculs? Is it runic in nature?
Is that an omh symble or omaga?
Are the pipe symbles of significance

The two intergers I have sean someplace not sure where. the first is a odd composite and deficient, the second is even composite and deficient.

is the 4D = M or 77 ?

Hah, I was wondering if somebody would get curious...

Yes, I have have taken college calculus I-III.
It is partly runic, but not in the usual definition of "runes".
The ohm symbol is the capital omega character so it is both.
The pipes only serve as separators.
The integers are meaningful numbers and the crux of the meaning itself, but the meaning is incomplete. They are not strictly mathematical in context; LOOK higher. (In truth, the numbers are rational numbers with at least 4 decimal points, but I've shortened to integers for brevity sake as the meaning can still be conveyed.)
4D is both M and 77.

Are the numbers read like runes. Not as indivual letters but as a word shape?

I modified my explanation slightly to offer a clue since you've posted.
The number order is taken as a whole in its meaning.
