Posted December 20, 2013 I just started thinking about all the tech acronyms. I'm realizing there I so many that I just say and don't know what they mean. I don't think about some even having a meaning. Reply if you know any that you think people might not know. I think everyone knows what CPU and GPU stands for so... don't post that...
