Hehe... I remember doing that to some people. :) My favorite though was
a former boss confusing MCA for PCI and arguing with me about it. I
ended up just telling her if she could plug the card into the slot, then
she was right..

What would he do if you gave him an EISA card?

  Hah!  I *just today* brought in an old VGA card with 8-bit ISA bus
connection.  Western Digital Paradise, from back when WDC made circuit
boards instead of hard drives.  256 KB onboard RAM.  I needed it to
plug into an old voice mail system that only accepted ISA cards.  I
*knew* saving that board for 20 years would come in handy eventually!
;-)

  It was really funny, my 24-year-old IT minion couldn't figure out
what it was.  His guess was "ISA bus tester".  He'd never heard of an
ISA video card before.
