Talk:DEC acronyms

Article links

The article links should probably be on the right hand side; I do not have the energy to fix this, though. Jnc (talk) 02:47, 19 September 2022 (CEST)

Fixed. Any other major surgery needed? I usually move the text to Emacs, do the edits there, and back. Larsbrinkhoff (talk) 07:27, 19 September 2022 (CEST)

Argh! I was insufficiently precise in my comment. I meant that the old:

[[Computer Interconnect|CI]] = Computer Interconnect

should convert to:

CI = [[Computer Interconnect]]

I.e. look more or less the same, but with the link from the text on the right hand side, rather than from the acronym on the left. (That will make the source simler/shorter too; less duplicated text.)

I too do my more complicated edits externally, in Epsilon in my case (which I originally had to use, as there was no Emacs for the PC; I now prefer still it, as it allows me to write extensions in C, which I have mental microcode for, unlike Lisp); I even wrote an extension specifically for making it easy to move source to MediaWiki sites!

IBM term originally?

I have this bit set that 'FRU' was an IBM term originally? Jnc (talk) 13:01, 16 February 2024 (CET)

Funny one!

I wonder if whoever came up with that one ('CRD') knew how it would be pronounced! Maybe it was deliberate? Jnc (talk) 19:59, 20 February 2024 (CET)
