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)

From: fanf#NoSpam.moggy.inmos.co.uk (Anthony Finch) PCMCIA: People Can't Remember Computer Industry Acronyms damn! no, that's wrong -- it should be "Memorise". It must be true...

From: Orchard Dave <DaveO#NoSpam.btc.bw> 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#NoSpam.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 From: JOgershok#NoSpam.aol.com I came up with this one yesterday and went looking to see if there is one. Phil's Date Now Thinks She Prefers Apples The reasons why I chose these words is because they approximate the actual names of the 7 layers: Physical Data/Link Network Transport Session Presentation Application

From: "Andrew Pepper" <andrew#NoSpam.rgmm.co.uk> Through the 1990s, whenever I heard about ISDN, I always thought "It Still Does Nothing." It's because the standard documents for ISDN came out around 10 years before you could actually buy any product. When Broadband ISDN came out (B-ISDN) there was around 3 years between standard and product, and we knew that as "But It Still Does Nothing".
