Help
I know that all of you have done this one time or another. This time, I would like for it to be in a thread, and see how far it can go.
Using computer terms, define them using only 5 words. Then define them again in 5 words, but not related to computers. In your message, you can either do a different word, or one that has already been mentioned.
Ex:
RAM-Programs used immediately by computer
Ram-Dodge name brand of truck
Hard Drive-Storage medium for all computers
Hard drive-Driving vehicle without any suspension
Creative thinking 101 definitions in 5 words

Now you guys are getting it!!! Using exactly 5 words to define a computer term, then defining it again w/ 5 words, as a non-computer term.
How about this one:
printer-popular output besides the monitor
printer-person who prints professionally full-time
