forgot the quote
'A Los Angeles County official has asked electronic equipment vendors to consider eliminating the terms "master" and slave" from equipment. Vendors were sent an e-mail last week that says the terms may be offensive. The term "master" and "slave" -- when applied to electronic equipment -- describes one device controlling another. In May, a black employee filed a discrimination complaint with the county Office of Affirmative Action Compliance after noticing the words on a videotape machine. The issue was solved by putting tape over the labels and replacing "master" and "slave" with "primary" and "secondary.' and the link: http://www.nbc13.com/technology/2668939/detail.html |

Yeah, I saw this last week right before I left. I agree that it is stupid, and from what I have been hearing, it is facing a lot of opposition in the industry.
I've been calling it that for twenty years, and I don't think I will be changing it to be politically correct. |

i have owned gear that has 'MSTR' and SLAV' as menu choices! these people need to worry more about REAL issues. My guess is, its some clueless poor uneducated idiot, and they landed some job at a video equip type place and saw it and was offended. I hope he gets laughed at in court. |
