AOL and LAM (LA meeting)``

[Adam Shostack]

Tim asked:

| By the way, while ATM has _three_ major meanings, are there any ohter
| such examples? Or even _four_ major meanings?

NIC came up while we were planning a new operating theatre:

Nurse In Charge, Not In Charts, and Network Interface Card.

Outside of the chart we were looking at, its Network Information
Center, and probably has other meanings.
