OK all you normies that try and talk to IT staff, here is a helpful hint. When addressing a Network Interface Card either call it that or a NIC. It's not a NIC card, that is like saying Network Interface Card card or USA of America.

I have a "cd-rom disk" around here somewhere with these helpful hints on it.

Technobabble (a portmanteau of technology and babble), also called technospeak, is a form of prose using jargon, buzzwords, esoteric language, specialized technical terms, or technical slang that is incomprehensible to a normal listener. Various fields of practice and industry have their own specialized vocabularies (jargon) that allow those educated within that industry to concisely convey ideas that may be confusing, misleading, or nonsensical to an outside listener.

I share your pet peeve. Also on my list are ATM machine, and PIN number.

Redundant redundancy.

You can say that again!
