Is it just me getting old or are other engineers offended by the hi-jacking of
some of our old abbreviations?
PCB stands for Printed Circuit Board, it does *not* stand for poly whatever
poisonous chemical. It doesn't now, and it never will do in my mind.
USB is Upper Side Band, it always has been and always will be. It is *not*
Universal Serial Bus. It never will be.
What next? VOLT for Voice Operated Literature Technology?
AMP for Automatic Mobile Prototcol?
WATT for Which Asshole Took The pSeudonym (well it almost works)
The whole thing is getting ridiculous.
Young upstart computer kiddies stealing my favourites and reinventing them.
</RANT>
I feel better now.
