Yeah, better not say that too loudly post #2135667

OH Houshou dont change

How can we translate "パソコン通信" (lit. computer communication) in English? That Japanese term indicates good ol' text-based online services like CompuServe.

That's why I went with Computer Communications, since it sounds kinda not-really-understandings (No one would say 'Computer Communication' in Enlgish - something like 'Computer Chat' or the like would have been more common until Online/Internet became the parlance.

You could make it longer, though, and say 'Talking using the Computer' or suchlike.

Thank you for your explanation. I just wondered whether there's an equivalent term to "パソコン通信" in English.

It's OK. Grandma Kongou can keep her company.

That last panel is referencing an event at Cape Esperance where Aoba flashed identification to the American fleet attacking them under the assumption they were a Japanese supply convoy.

Fiber-Optics as Signal Lamps 2.0?

I... I will never see this the same way again.
