the probem is that this behaviour has been extended to all technical literature for time and costs reason, but nobody really likes or understands them as an example could you now tell me on the flight the meanings of these Initials ? without having any doc at hand . IDE = SATA = SDRAM = HD = hard disk or hard drive ? ambiguous ! ambiguous ! salam > -- > Khaled Hosny -- محمد سعد _______________________________________________ Doc mailing list [email protected] http://lists.arabeyes.org/mailman/listinfo/doc
