Hey, my friend and I, (Wynd in this forum) were bored today in school, so we started making this list of all of the computer related acronyms that we could think of, and define them. I was thinking it would be cool if anyone could help us add to the list and help us get it as big as we can! (i know there are websites that tell you all of these, but it is more fun on your own)
P.S. i know some of these are wrong, and some aren't even defined. Maybe you could help us out too. Just for fun...
