From the Your-Tax-Dollars-Wasted-Dept.
It looks like LA County Officials have banned the term, “Master/Slave” from use in computer hard drives and video equipment.

Under orders from the affirmative action office, county departments have surveyed about 1,000 pieces of equipment and taped over “master/slave” and put “primary/secondary” on the equipment, officials said.

This is just great news! For more information read the artical at the L.A. Daily News [dead link, no web archive].
