I need all of the humorus, high-tech definitions I can get. Some
examples follow:



PC		A desk top computer which is supposed to run like your
		IBM, but dosen't.

HARDWARE	The source of your problems according to your
		software engineer.

LEADING EDGE	Things that not only don't work, but haven't really
		been invented yet.

OBSOLETE	The computer system you just bought.

FAX		A way of sending bad photocopies down the phone lines
		to the wrong number.

(my favorite so far)


E-mail or post any that you know of and after a while, I'll post
a complete list.

Thanks,
John Schuch
