Subject: pdp things that are not pdp
Am I the only one who is mildly annoyed at all the various things with
"pdp" in their model names that have nothing to do with older computers
from DEC? Compaq and Panasonic seem to be the worst, naming memories,
power supplies, and toner cartridges with pdp-blahblahblah.
I'd love to hear the natter from the other side of this: "I'm on eBay looking
for a Plasma Display Panel and all these crufty old computers show up in my search
results! What's that about?" -- Ian
