I got an email that ended with "px".

Is this a good thing or a bad thing? Does anyone know?

It's can be an abbreviation for Pneumothorax! :-2

The entire message was:

"OK! px"

no context in which to interpret it. I thought at one point that it might be an emoticon. no luck though.

could it be that the O and P are next to each other on the keyboard and they were trying to say ox like hugs and kisses?:thinking:

if you are ever suspicious of an email, whatever you do don't open it on your own computer. If you can't control your curiosity or if it may be important, go to an internet cafe, access your email site, and open it on their computer. If it wipes the hard-drive it doesn't matter as people don't store their personal files or photos etc etc on internet cafe computers. Thats my advice, I don't know what PX means, I wouldn't take the risk of finding out the hard way its the latest virus from some snotty, 12 year old computer-geek kid. ;)

well done abbey.

that's more than I was able to find. It's from a trusted source regarding work. That's why I don't want to ask her what the heck she's talking about. It also means physical examination and unless I'm auditioning for an acting part that isn't the norm.
