- sundvor 3y agoNah, people can't memorise computer industry acronyms.
- alister 3y agoThat hilarious reference to a defunct standard from decades ago is worth a quick explanation for those who've never heard of it: PCMCIA stands for Personal Computer Memory Card International Association, the group of companies that defined the standard. This acronym was difficult to say and remember, and was sometimes jokingly referred to as "People Can't Memorize Computer Industry Acronyms".

- sundvor 3y agoThanks for noticing - I've always been very fond of that one. I had a Creative Labs PCMCIA Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS card for a laptop once, they were absolutely fantastic for the time.
