I did misword the definition of microprocessor - apologies!!!!

As for the others that have been deemed as 'half rights' - you considered them half wrong because I just use a very short, simplified form of the definition rather than go into too much detail (or unnecessary information that was not included, rather than the information that was included).

And sorry - I did not post a very good definition for bus either - I never even considered it would be thought of as actual wires that flop around loose and get tripped over - but reading your post I can see why it would have been interpretted that way.

What I have always called and thought of as a backplane was the board that the expansion slots are attached to with the buses running from/to them - I know what a riser card is and I have never heard of backplane and riser card used interchangeably - assuming I correctly understood your explanation.

As for the LED definition - I never said that it was the only device that lit up when electricity passed through it nor did I say that all devices that emit light when electricity passes through them are LED; I said it was a device that lit up when electricity passed through it

I wasn't using Cisco as a validator to the accuracy of the definitions - I had said that as a response to Undertaker asking if I made this up.

But cheers - the nit - picking (I say that in a good way) will definately encourage me to raise my standards to greater heights .........
