    Two stupid ones:

    CAFE - the positive (or unsigned)
                                      first nibble in EBCDIC numbers DB - the
    negative

    e.g.  C3 = +3
          F8 = 8 (unsigned)
          D9 = -9 33 45 7C = +33'457 (packed decimal)

    PCMCIA: People Can't Remember

    Computer Industry Acronyms

    damn! no, that's wrong -- it should be "Memorise". It must be true...
    (even though it's not a mnemonic)

    From: khm@skom.se (Karl-Henry Martinsson)
    Or, as Brendan McGuire (Executive

    Director of PCMCIA) said: President Clinton Makes Cornbread In Arkansas

     Computing: You don't go to the STORE to get VD.
               The 360 instructions for which the second operand, instead of
               the first, is the recipient of the data. (STORE and cVD-
               convert to decimal)

     Please Do Not Take Sales Person Advice Order of Layer's on the OSI Data
    Model: Physical, DataLink, Network, Transport, Session, Presentation,
    Application (This can get a little confuseing if you say "Don't" instead of
    "Do Not")

    From: "Dave Noice" <dnoice@copper.net> Please Do Not Throw Sausage Pizza
    Away

    Please Do Not Touch Sally's Panties Again (This one may be politically
    incorrect, but it DID help me memorize the layers)

    And for those who can't remember to say Do Not instead of Don't, we can go
    the other direction (Application, Presentation, Session, Transport,
    Network, Data-Link, Physical)

    All People Seem To Need Data Processing
