Hey joeygray, do you mean => AT&T designed its T-carrier system to allow the grouping of individual channels together into larger units. A T2 line, for example, consists of four T1 lines aggregated together. Similarly, a T3 line consists of 28 T1 lines. The system defined five levels—T1 through T5—as shown in the table below. T-Carrier Signal LevelsName Capacity (maximum data rate) T1 multiples T1 1.544 Mbps 1 T2 6.312 Mbps 4 T3 44.736 Mbps 28 T4 274.176 Mbps 168 T5 400.352 Mbps 250

I used to work in the Nickel mines in Thompson Manitoba. The Headframes to go underground were named Thompson 1 and Thompson 3, but everyone called it T1 and T3. There was a mine at T2 but miners had to go down the T1 or T3 shaft to get there.

Interesting that there were three interpretations of the name and all three were completely wrong.

Well, if we had to place odds on T1-T3's nick: -- Math geek: good odds -- Health provider who knows about the numbering of the thorasic vertebrae: decent odds -- Computer/electronics nerd who knew about T-system signal carriers: good odds* -- Worker in a nickel mine in Manitoba: not a chance .shrug * This was my guess. At the time that I became aware of T1-T3 as a freecell player, my work was using the T1-T3 system to provide internet, and a high end condo in town was advertising that they were providing T1-T3, too. (Shockingly, this was not the only time I was mistaken in the past week)

I enjoy meeting players in person or at least seeing a pic of what they look like. So, never having met T1 or seeing a pic I imagined them as one who had had an accident that broke his neck causing was physically impairment; maybe having to use an implement to play this game. A Stephen Hawking image came to mind. Imagination...what an interesting thing.

Years ago, a freecell player here whined to me that T-1 T-3 was cheating somehow, because they were winning daily streakage. I said maybe he or she is just that good, and blew that person off. Don't try cyber drama on me. Got enough IRL. Just saying.

You're are partly correct hotnurse. I was in a mining accident, but my broken bones were down my body a little farther than my neck, and I can walk. I wish I had Stephen Hawkins brain. :). I would then try some of the difficult variants. Thanks outskirts. I don't know how to cheat at Freecell. I sit and concentrate until I find an opening and then move. Unfortunately, many times the opening was not the correct one.
