Acronymns make it easier for us to remember things. I remember in school, when studying, I would try and make important points into acronyms to remember them. South Africa like their acronyms. They will find weird acronyms for every organisation, process or idea. The IT and computer industry is not without their fair share of acronyms. Here is a list of acronyms from the IT industry in a way you might not have read before.

CD-ROM: Consumer Device, Rendered Obsolete in Months
PCMCIA: People Can’t Memorize Computer Industry Acronyms
ISDN: It Still Does Nothing
SCSI: System Can’t See It
MIPS: Meaningless Indication of Processor Speed

OS/2: Obsolete Soon, Too
PnP: Plug and Pray
APPLE: Arrogance Produces Profit-Losing Entity
IBM: I Blame Microsoft
MICROSOFT: Most Intelligent Customers Realize Our Software Only Fools Teenagers
COBOL: Completely Obsolete Business Oriented Language
LISP: Lots of Insipid and Stupid Parentheses
