But who has the time? A minute or two and a kind word from each of us might go a long way. The FAQ is actually such a thing. Someone, somewhere, has taken many minutes to right many kinds words to hopefully get your through the worse confusion. Almost every subject on the internet that you can imagine has a FAQ. When trying to find some information on a particular subject go to your favorite seach engine, go to the adFARNET|&|Federation of American Research Networks FASIC Function and Algorithm-Specific Integrated Circuit FAT File Allocation Table FAX Facsimile FC/AL Fiber Channel/Arbitrated Loop FC/EL Fiber Channel/Enhanced Loop FCB File Control Block FCC: File Carbon Copy FCCSET Federal Coordinating Council for Science, Engineering and Technology FCC Federal Communications Commission FCI Flux Changes per Inch FCL Fibre Channel Loop FCR FIFO Control Register FCS Fiber Channel Standard Frame Check Sequence FDC Floppy Disk Controller FDDI Fiber Digital Device Interface Fiber Distributed Data Interface FDD Floppy Disk Drive I'm not sure where FDD shows up.
