Look accurate to me... good job. However, I still use DOS daily... not from the keyboard so much but as an environment to run scripts.

Like a lot of you, having lived thru the day of MSDOS, OS/2, BASIC etc, I appreciate the humour but these things were good in their day. What about CP/M?

Down here our country's (New Zealand) nation weather office goes by NIWA, for National Institute of Water and Atmospheric research. The weather forecasting is a fickle science, most of us claim NIWA stands for "No Idea What's Ahead" Gotta love Acronyms.

And of course, there are the IT standbys - GIGO (garbage in, garbage out) and PBKAC (problem between keyboard and chair)
