Don't forget "Integrated Video" 
Wow, nice job Koan - i'd forgotten about all the "VGA" psudonyms and I'll pay out on "graphics accelerator". 
Dollyeyes - of course I should include the non-techie names as well! That one covers it nicely.
ddeerrff - yes indeed, when is a card not a card? When its integrated, onboard, built in.... got to stop now!

"Memory Stick" is a Sony trademark name for their memory card. But like many other such
names (Xerox, Kleenex, etc) it has come into use to describe similar small memory devices.
(This just for Dollyeyes... that little memory thingy;)

What? they couldn't get key direct-drive to work?
Oh, the drive that goes on your key-chain - I get it!
Dollyeyes' names are so good - "That little memory thingy" - and I know exactly what she's talking about. Talk to me about an "Intelligent Stick" and I'd think you were a lunatic.
Finger drive <== one of my english teachers actually called it this*
