Very often I find expressions such as 'box' in connection with something else, e.g. 'w98 boxes'.
I am not exactly sure what 'box' means in this connection.
Can somebody enlighten me please. Thank you
Without seeing the context, I would guess 'box' = 'computer' or 'machine' i.e. a 'w98 box' would be a computer running Windoze98 or a 'linux box' would be a computer running Linux etc... HTH...
