This is another exercise that I remember doing that was alot of fun. It has been adapted to suit the needs of this site.

Take a computer abbriviation, and define it the correct way. Using the same word, define it again. The only thing that I ask is that if it has not already been defined in this thread, that you start with the correct meaning. This way we can all learn.

Add to the following, or make your own.

RAM-Random Access Memory

RAM-Remember Anything Momentarily

AGP-Advanced Graphics Port

AGP-Adding Geometric Presence

We are all curious like a cat. We wonder, we ask, we learn.
Please post back when a suggestion works, so that others may learn.
