We all hear the term 'DONGLE' used all over the place.

I am interested in what you happy bunch think, so my questions are :

1) What do YOU think a dongle is
2) What dongles do you own
3) When did you start using the word (not to the second)

A hardware key lock for expensive programs.

None. I do not buy software, therefore dongles are useless to me.

When I noticed that in order to run a program I had to apply a crack to a dongle emulator.

Hey,

Dongle is a familiar word for external WIFI for your laptop. Some people use external WIFI adapter for laptops because they can get better reception with it as compared to the built in one.

Cheers.
