    Ooooh - very close...... that is kind of the correct answer. I need context.

    Clue is the late 60s.

    Jimmi Hendrix Windows XPerience

    yeah but u didnt tell me where it came from, it comes from Jimmi Hendrix as in Jimi Hendrix “Are you experienced”.

    Steve Bulmer - the CEO of Microsoft - is a big Jimmi Hendrix fan.

    apparently!



    now i bet u all wanted to know that.
