If "Master/Slave" terminology in computing sounds bad now, why not change it to "Dom/Sub"?

It sounds way less offensive to those who decry the original terminology's problematic roots but still keeps its meaning intact.

It still bugs me that the old drive connections are called PATA now and not IDE.

Like new coke, so then we got coke classic

Yes PATA IDE was the full old term. Now we have SATA ( SCSI ? or IDE? i dont remember ) .

PATA = Parallel - ATA SATA = Serial - ATA
