LOS ANGELES, California (Reuters) -- Los Angeles officials have asked that
manufacturers, suppliers and contractors stop using the terms "master" and
"slave" on computer equipment, saying such terms are unacceptable and
offensive.

I have been expecting an uprising by CD drives and other devices for some
time now, haven't you? I guess they are offended by those terms and that is
one reason many people have trouble with them already.

IMHO JAX
 
Its not only that they have master and slave but also
they have ranks among them, Primary slave and secondary
slave, Think how he feels, is the lowest ranking one of
all drives, there all better then him, they can all give
him orders. What kind of orders would they give?

Lior.
 
And some drives are black and some are beige (white). Some
drive are independent and some are intelligent. There are
enhanced drives. Some drives are Aliens.
