[GreenKeys] RS232 to TTY Loop Boards

[tony.podrasky]

GA OMs;

I *HATE* acronyms!

I worked for a company that went out-of-their-way to make
up an acronym for everything.

If that wasn't bad enough, different groups made up acronyms
that had the same letters as other groups were using which led
to total confusion when multiple groups would meet.

I worked for a computer company called DATA GENERAL. When the
IBM-ers started to come on board, they changed most of the
handful of acronyms we had to something else. Really annoying.
The only good thing that came out of it was when they changed
the name of our diagnostics to AIDS - and a year later the
disease came out...  :-)

You haven't mastered a tool unless you can come
up with at least three ways to use it for which
it was never intended.
