I worked for IBM (another TLA itself) for a while, and saw in an AS/400 manual that a particular hardware error code meant that there was an AMD fault.
I opened the Glossary page of the manual, and found that AMD meant Air Movement Device - i.e. FAN!
Why the fuse a three-letter acronym instead of a three-letter word?
