That's what I can remember, not the original meaning.
That is correct.
Ignore the jerks who try to tell you that it stands for
Personal Computer Memory Card Industry Association
They were such jerks that when PCMCIA didn't catch on as a name, they
changed it to "PC CARD"!
Now, THAT takes a real jerk to not realize how BAD that name is!
They are far from unique. Consider "COM", "CPM", "8mm
movie"
