"PC cards" is the work of the (very busy) devil and should go the way of
/dev/com*, "cyber*" and "Now available for Windows" (hmm, X?)
That having been said, I don't really feel that strongly but I don't think
we should compound the mistake by endorsing it. It is the one of the most
ambiguous acronyms I've seen invented to date. Marketspeak.
>Besides, it's such an easy acronym: "People Can't Memorise Computer
>Industry Acronyms." :-)
Pulse Code Modulation Central Intelli.. hmm, no. Dang.
