Don Lancaster - 28 Apr 2006 23:17 GMT
            Dr. Jerome F. MacDonald is the senior
            member of a design team that has long
            been working in the Dairy Science division
            of the US Department of Agriculture.

            They have come up with a communications
            input-output (I /O) and interchange code for
            computers and terminals. The coding is
            simple, effective, and easy to use. It’s now
            spreading rapidly to to other government
            agencies and now is becoming an industry
            wide standard.

            In fact, the code now has an Electronics
            Industries Evaluationary (EIE) status and
            should shortly go international.

            Thus, the old MacDonald farm interface is
            now an EIE I/O.

I always thought that the E.I.E.I.O. was the farmer's union.

No, it's a PowerPC instruction (Enforce Inorder Execution of I/O)

That was a long way to go to find out the store was closed.
