I do now 8-). Seriously, the list helps when I am reading something
computer related and the rude arrogant author (nobody here qualifies
for that title) starts throwing them about as if everyone knows what

parentheses then spell out the acronym. After that use the acronym
liberally, but courteously repeat the process five to ten pages later.
