I've heard the computer called the CPU, hard Drive, and even Modem. Yes....MODEM....The first two I can kind of understand but Modem? And i heard that one more than once, too....
A few years back I had this rednecked fellow from Forest lake or some such looking for a computer. He had been told that the Pentium 3 was the best and to make sure he got one of those. He was told this, of course, by the family computer expert. Now, this was circa 2004-5 and Pentium 4 with HT was all the rage and P3 hadn't been around for years! But he was pretty stubborn about it, said he'd have to go talk to his "expert" about why we wouldn't have any Pentium 3s...
edit: another one people butchered a lot was USB cable. BSU, BUS, USB, UPS, square cable thingy, UDS, UMB, the list goes on.
