City of LA asks computer suppliers to deprecate “Master”/”Slave” terms.

As a computer professional and a fan of tolerance, I don’t have the slightest problem with this request at all, although none of my clients have yet protested.

I haven’t had too many requests to install a secondary hard drive lately, but when I do, what will we call them? Primary and Secondary would work, but fewer syllables would be better. Felix and Oscar? Laurel and Hardy? Lucy and Ethel? Obi-Wan and Vader? Why are all the dichotomies that come to mind comedy duos? [Yes, them too.] I know! Lone Ranger and Ton… darn.
