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.
