I wanted to point out a correction for the first post :

aDSL = A-Synchronus "digital 'SUBSCRIBER' line" (Not service)

Additions:
CGA - Color Graphics Adapter (4 Color)
EGA - Exteneded Graphics Adapter (16 color)
MFM = ??? I dunno, the old hard disk adapter ... (Like IDE)

sDSL = self explained
T1 = (Actually is a "made-up" term, is actually DS1, which is = Digital Subscriber) DS3 (27 T1's), or, T3
OC3 (Or 48, etc...) = Optical Carrier x

More Additions:
FAG = Cigarette, :-)
COP = Sow, Pig, Boar, Farm Animal, Etc... (Bacon)

Here are some that I felt were not covered:

NRC (Network Riser Card, or interface, or whatever it is)
EDO (Ram)
Slot 1
Flip Chip (Alothough ZIF 'was' covered)
G3
G4
G5
Celeron
Zeon
Athlon
And all those new crazy AMD names, Thunderbird or whatever else ....
Centrino
Core DUO
370
423

(There are so many ''NAMES'' covering up the actual ''NUMBER'' it is hard to know what you are buying now, if you have slipped out of the loop or are a newbie !!!)

Well hope this helped....
Thanks !
