Gasp! How could we forget two of the most important contractions!? Or maybe we were ignoring them on purpose. Anyway:
AMD = Advanced Micro Devices Intel = INTegrated ELectronics MSI = Micro Star International. And of course, that Athlon is short for 'Decathlon', apparently. Actually, I guess those aren't really important for Overclocking, but kind of interesting nonetheless. And I'll leave working out with Microsoft stands for for a Linux user  EDIT: Just realised - JBODs! Just a Bunch of Disks =P And also, perhaps PS/2 - Personal System 2

Not sure if someone addressed it but, WiFi apparantly does not stand for Wireless Fidelity.
__________________from BoingBoing "Phil Belanger, a founding member of the Wi-Fi Alliance who presided over the selection of the name "Wi-Fi" writes: Wi-Fi doesn't stand for anything. It is not an acronym. There is no meaning. Wi-Fi and the ying yang style logo were invented by Interbrand. We (the founding members of the Wireless Ethernet Compatibility Alliance, now called the Wi-Fi Alliance) hired Interbrand to come up with the name and logo that we could use for our interoperability seal and marketing efforts. We needed something that was a little catchier than "IEEE 802.11b Direct Sequence". Interbrand created "Prozac", "Compaq" "oneworld", "Imation" and many other brand names that you have heard of. They even created the company name "Vivato". rest of article http://www.boingboing.net/2005/11/08...hort_for_.html
