Tim, Re: "AOL is getting out of hand. ATM sometimes means Adobe Type Manager, sometimes Amateur Telescope Maker (as in "Gleanings for ATMs" in "Sky and Telescope"), sometimes Asynchronous Transfer Mode, and sometimes even Automated Teller Machine."

In Internet speak, a lot of people use ATM to mean "At This Moment".

Here's a whole list of possible meanings for "ATM" (41 in all). ;-)

"Hey, I've been using Macs since 1985 and have had an Ethernet Mac since at least 1990. ... Oh, not the same kind of Mac. Must mean "MAC" as in Message Authentication Code, the crypto function."

It just means "Media Access Controller". You should
keep up with modern partitioning schemes in silicon
industry.
