hahaha – no problem – I am getting to be an old timer my self. It is all I can do to tread water. I remember being ahead of the curve 15 years ago with my 2400 baud modem and now I can't even see the curve.

It is an internet meme for Owned -

1. pwned

A corruption of the word "Owned." This originated in an online game called Warcraft, where a map designer misspelled "owned." When the computer beat a player, it was supposed to say, so-and-so "has been owned."

Instead, it said, so-and-so "has been pwned."

It basically means "to own" or to be dominated by an opponent or situation, especially by some god-like or computer-like force.
"Man, I rock at my job, but I still got a bad evaluation. I was pwned."

OR

"That team totally pwned us."

Hope that explains it. - All I did was type pwned into google. Got a who page of it.

So I guess I pwned you.

pWned? Given the earliness of the morning, I assume that is a typo, LOL, but if it isn't, what does it mean?
