Story: Political correctness puts disk drives in a spin

What an utterly stupid and ridiculous comment! Does Joe Sandoval live in the real
world, or did he just dream up this story out of pure boredom whilst at work? It's people like this that CAUSE the problems, not fix them! The words "master" and "slave" have been used to label disc drives for ages and they are terms that everyone is familiar with. If it works, why change it? Joe Sandoval’s life must be really empty and boring if he has time to debate over such minor and insignificant things? Besides, when did a manager in his position actually have the time to look into such matters? The company you work for is paying you by the hour to do your job, NOT to go around pissing and moaning about stupid, unimportant things! So, make yourself useful and stop wasting your time by trying to earn brownie points from ridiculous
proposals! Remember, sticks and stones will break your bones, but WORDS will never hert you, so what in the world is wrong with "slave" and "master" ?
