LOL.. Deja.. you being at Intel should know all about acronyms. That place is totally flooish as there are acronymns for just about everything.

I asked some people there what some of them meant, and They don't know.

I went to the acronym search data base for some of them... It don't know either...

The funny part is, just about anyone you see talking about qualifying a tool will throw this acronym around all day.

F.A.B Simply means message received and understood.  From their website by Gerry Anderson, the creator.

An explanation here http://www.thunderbirdsonline.com/0401/vote0401_frame.jhtml (http://www.thunderbirdsonline.com/0401/vote0401_frame.jhtml)

Keep the Blue Peter badge.  I have had one for 40 years :-)
