GIGO

[geewj]

Ok, this is a serious questions.

I need to know who has heard of the phrase GIGO: Garbage in garbage out.

I wanted to use it for something I'm making. I was under the impression that is was a commonly known phrase, but everyone I've mentioned it to so far has had no idea what I was talking about.

So please just answer honestly if you've heard of it before.. If you feel adventurous enough, even post where you remember learning/hearing it from.

Well, simply knowing Garbage in garbage out is enough.

I have heared the phrase GIGO. when i looked at the topic name, i knew what it meant.

I heared it in IT in secondary school, prolly at the age of 14, but i may have heared before then.

It was being used in the context of Access databases (i think) so basically, if you put crap data into the database, your going to get crap back out http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif
