My fave was a computer tech manual that referred to a spacing device by the acronym LRF. It stood for "Little Rubber Feet." I kid you not.

Talk about lack of communication!

If I saw the words 'AMD' ... I would have thought of the chip manufacturer.

Why not an 'AFR' as in Air Flow Regulator; or 'AFP' as in Air Flow Port; or
even 'AMT' as in Air Molecule Transport. Gees ... who pays to have some one
think up a 'Air Moving Device.'

To me ... a fan, is a fan ... and one less acronym is needed in this world.
