See explanation below... Explanation: A (key) fob is the little device attached to your key-ring, the sort of thing you use to set/unset your car alarm, open agrage door, etc. These sort of remote-control devices might be issued to certain key personnel for access purposes, for example, without giving them full rights to interfere with the system settings. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 5 mins (2006-06-21 14:43:41 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Sorry, "...open a garage door..." :-( |

fob Explanation: A fob is this thing that you put on your keyring to open your car doors without inserting the key in the lock. They used to be little charms that you kept on your watch chain (back when people wore pocket watches). However, now it has come to mean a thing on your keyring. Most cars now have keyless entry with a RF transmitter designed as a fob. Reference: http://motors.listings.ebay.com/Safety-Security_Keyless-Entr... |
