Subject:Re: Populate as a verb ... From:Grant Hogarth <CGHogarth -at- AOL -dot- COM> Date:Mon, 16 Jan 1995 00:08:44 -0500
The major use I have seen for "populate" is on video/memory cards,
or on motherboards, and it was used to specifically describe the
kinds of memory chips used on that board.
i.e. "Populate the boared with 72-pin SIMMS only" or
"The board is populated with 9MB SIMMS".
