But as you know, the set of aquired acronyms depends much upon environment. I once had a meeting (fresh from university) with some IBM engineers on the subject of the introduction of the first RS/6000 models in .nl. I still feel the sense of alienation, not knowing what a DASD was. I was guessing it was some very special storage device, but in the end it just meant "direct access storage device": just a disk.
