    I have one from my days of computer programming from years ago.
    It was for setting up a program in COBOL language. These have to be titled with required info before the
    language assembler can create either an .obj or an .exe application.
    We had a guy in our class who was denied a position at a company because he couldn't list
    the proper sequence.

    I - Identification
    Eat - Environment
    Cunts - Configuration
    Daily - Data Storage
    For - File Section
    Women's - Working Storage
    Pleasure - Procedure

    Hey, I remember that (not the cool mnemonic, though :) )- my first job after college was doing stuff like that for ESSO, and I think the language was called COBOL (COmmon Business-Oriented Language).

    I have seen the schematic you show, but it is actually backwards of the way the .obj has to be set up.
    I remember one instructor saying a subroutine was used to orient the outline input to the proper machine language requirement.

    What you show there is just one of a few different terms that were used. But the one I was taught came from
    the 3 different COBOL generators we used at school. They were 3 different companies and 3 different assemblers but they all required that specific written sequence of partitioning.
    I was told that exact titling was required for COBOL to be assembled. Hence the subroutines for the different naming of the flowchart sequence.

    Anyone remember the origins of the wonderful word 'WYSIWYG' ?

    It's pronounced like 'wizzy-wig' - and is useful on so many social occasions. :)

    In the US there are 2 greater political parties and each has an animal as symbol:
    in alphabetical order
    democrats - republicans
    donkey - elephant

    the 2 with the same first letter belong together
    democrats = donkey
    so, that means that
    republicans = elephant

    Perhaps new members have some mnemonics?

    Any musicians around?? Here's one of my all-time favorites for when you need to remember the notes on the treble clef from the bottom to the top (E, G, B, D, F).

    Every
    Good
    Boy
    Deserves
    Fudge

    Which is ironic, of course, because I just displayed them top-to-bottom! :confused:

    Also is the title of a pretty solid album by Mudhoney...

    Not technically a mnemonic, the other notes, the ones on the spaces between the lines of the the staff (US) or stave (UK), spell F A C E

    That would have been useful in my electronics class in high school.
