Famous Dave Barry, Dave Barry In Cyberspace Quote
You should use the preceding terms whenever you have to 'interface'¹ with computer experts. For example, if you're purchasing a new computer, you want to use as many of these terms as possible, so that store personnel will realize that they're dealing with a person who has a high level of technical expertise: STORE PERSONNEL: May I help you? YOU: I'm looking for a 'hard drive' with plenty of 'RAM' in the 'megahertz.' STORE PERSONNEL: You want the computer store next door. This is a supermarket. YOU: Let me see your 'zucchini.'
