Story: Political correctness puts disk drives in a spin
Posted by: Cornwallsteve (Thursday 27 November 2003, 1:46 PM)
We all most likely have better things to do with our time, than read these and send replies.
But, it is coming to something when all people seem to want to do is rename everything, whether it is politically correct or not.
We eventually will not know what the hell we are talking about!
Now, my son is 3years old, he will be known as Master until he is 16, when he officially becomes a Mister or Mr.
Maybe all HDD's over 16 should be renamed Mr. drive.
The slave drive renamed "unpaid helper" drive, or "mistreated" drive"!!!!!!
No sorry, I agree with most, a total waste of time, why not call a spade a spade, and not a shovel, and have done with it.
Any time something is running smoothly, or effectively, there is always someone at the top who wants to change it, usually because the one at the top now appears to be doing nothing, and may end up out of work because the yare no longer needed.!!!!!!!
