patgundGot a computer with an IDE drive? Sell computer IDE/ATA drives? Have the County of Los Angeles as a vendor? Well, make sure you *don't* refer to the drive settings as "Master/Slave".

Claim: The County of Los Angeles has requested that equipment vendors avoid using the industry term "Master/Slave" in product descriptions and labelling.
Status: True.
Wonder if their next trick will be to discourage the use of the term "Male Connector / Female Connector"??
Maybe instead we could have "dominant" and "submissive" hard drives. Or "oppressor" and "oppressee". "Asks Politely" and "Happy Worker"? I know, "Boss" and "Peon" hard drives!!
