Just a thought, but could a better name be created than "slave"?

Is there some reason for wanting to change the name?  Slave is used extensively in electronics design as something that jsut follows orders from another device, no processing, just a follower.  There is no social meaning attached to this.

Are we trying to be politically correct here?  LOL  I vote for slave.  The master/slave terminology has been used in the electronics industry for years.  However the city of Los Angeles had problems with this terminology in 2003 See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Master-slave_%28technology%29.

How about Specialized Lynx Auxiliary Verbatim Electronics?

even with using the "been in electronics terminology for years" idea, there is no master here. just EtherDongle and Slave.

I just think it could use a more creative name.

I guess that my question would be is the slave unit really just a conductor in slave mode and if nt, what is the difference between them?

What about Datagator, it sounds like Conductor.

At work we have mobile computer stations. We used to call them COWs (Computer On Wheels) This worked fine until one day a nurse was over heard asking another nurse to "go down the hall and get that COW." The lady that heard it threw a huge fit thinking the they were calling a patient a cow. <fp.

Now we call them TEDs (Transportable Electronic Devices)

How about the Lynx S-word.  We'll all know what it means, but we don't actually say it, so that makes it OK, right?

I so hope that a bunch of this banter is meant to be funny, because if everyone is so uptight about the word slave, we really have take political correctness way past reasonable.  Please tell me that this is all an attempt at comedy and restore my faith in reasonable thinking.

Political Corectness stinks.  >:D

I am being semi serious about a new name, but not because I don't like Slave.

"Political Corectness stinks.  >:D"

I cannot think of anything else other than the current financial collapse that will bring us closer to the brink as a country.  We are so afraid of offending anyone that messages get watered down to the point where they are meaningless.
