EDV

Ok. EDV is out. It is the german short for “Elektronische Daten Verarbeitung”. Thats like “Electronic Data Processing” in English. Almost as old school as “the EVA principle”. First time I heard it was once when I took a walk with my dad, back in the 80ies. He told me about DOS, Norton Commander, POKE and REM…

Please don’t try to find a job with these abbreviations. It won’t work.
Just saw it on austrian TV. The guy, age 52, does EDV… no fucking way!!!

P.S: Indian friends, please don’t worry, you were well secured by the cold war at the time. So please don’t bother to read/learn about it. It is VERY MUCH OKAY, if you don’t know about the C64 and the pre-win3.11. Not to worry…

P.P.S: The chat I watched was on christian “free” (aka mostly exremist) chruches who’s members don’t want to make around before the lord doesn’t agree. More on this topic later.

P.P.P.S: “EVA” is even better than EDV, funwise: It means “Eingabe-Verarbeitung-Ausgabe”, in English: “Input-Processing-Output”. Imagine, that is just about the most old school machine one can imagine. A very easy view that doesn’t help your understanding any more. Monkeys trying to use typewriters…
