Whats your favourite TLA ?
Hi All,

Just had a question on this elsewhere, so thought it would be a good subject for a thread.

So, whats your favourite TLA (three letter acronym) ? As IT is riddled with them, there's gonna be some good ones.

Also, as this was prompted by me using one in a posting context, lets keep this relevant to the forum as well (and relatively serious, if we can )

IMHO (in my honest opinion) this should be helpful to anyone joining the boards as well.

HTH

Re: Whats your favourite TLA ?
OK, so I knew this would go this way.

Maybe I should just GTF right now (again, no explanation required)

Re: Whats your favourite TLA ?
FLA (Five letter acronym) = TWAIN = Technology without an interesting name, or is that a myth?

And your point is?

Re: Whats your favourite TLA ?
Actually, TWAIN does mean exactly that. For once, an xLA that's pretty acccurate.
