Why not fatherboard

I kid you not. Of course. The CPU fatherboard does all the thinking in the family. You must log in or register to reply here. Post thread. CPUs and Overclocking. Graphics Cards. AnandTech is part of Future plc, an international media group and leading digital publisher.

In my business class last week, I was confronted by my teacher regarding my usage of the word "firemen".

Whatever peripherals you normally use with your computer, you can use with the Fatherboard. Full-size keyboards- finally! Printers, scanners, fax devices, web cams, card readers, even full-size monitors… if there is a slot or connector for it on your computer, you will be able to use it with the Fatherboard and your PDA. With the Fatherboard, however, I could do it all- right up to the limits of the laptop I had it configured with!

The freedom to use a real keyboard and have a full word-processor like Word at your fingertips! Within minutes of hooking up the Fatherboard, I was listening to music using Windows Media Player, watching a DVD, editing some digital photos, making up business cards, and more- all on my little Palm Tx, all without having to do any special formatting, setups, tweaking, registrations etc.

It has been a dream of Palm users for a decade now to be able to use their Palms just like a laptop. Many applications have made the claim, but all have been flawed.

It does not have a great range, shorter even than the average Bluetooth, but it is wireless and very portable. Stop pleasing others and start pleasing yourself. So why do they call a motherboard a motherboard and not a fatherboard? Maybe because it gets parts inserted into it's slots! Because everyone knows the mother of the family keeps all the sh!
