New Acronym Created on the Net

San Francisco (NBp) - WebInterSolutionsNet (WISN) announced that it has created the acronym "TACO" for their new Tracking And Collection Objects. TACO is reportedly the 500,000th acronym created since the first microcomputers started showing up a little more than 20 years ago. The internet has lead to a dramatic increase in the ROAC (Rate Of Acronym Creation). TACO was, in fact, created just five seconds after the last acronym "FISH".

"We are pleased to have created this TACO," announced WISN CEO Leroy Dewey. "It is very pleasing to us that our company's 5th acronym of the year is actually the 500,000th acronym of modern computing."

Acronym Experts (AEs) are worried about the current ROAC. They say that some acronyms have already been reused and that within 5 years the supply of acronyms 5 letters or less will be completely depleted. A faction of AEs, AEs For More Letters (AEFML), has announced a drive to add a 27th letter to the alphabet, in the same way that phone companies may add an 11th digit to phone numbers.

"If we could get just one more letter, that would allow us to continue making acronyms through 2018," explains noted AE Liza Yngwie.

WISN, and other companies, have no plans of curbing their use of rapidly dwindling supply of acronyms. "WISN makes a wide variety of products for WANs and LANs based on TCP/IP including TACO and our forthcoming SALSA. We like the acronyms ourselves, but YMMV."
