Trillian McIntosh's definitions

CPU

1. Central Processing Unit. The main part of your computer, (not your monitor or sound card, for example).
2. Cayce Pollard Units. From William Gibson's science fiction novel Pattern Recognition, non-brand-identifiable clothing: "things that could have been worn, to a general lack of comment, during any year between 1945 and 2000."
That hip consignment shop is all about CPU's--lots of basic black, and no logos.
