Real People Time (RPT)

Commonly referred to as EST or East Standard Time, RPT (Real People Time) is the authority in time zones. It is the benchmark for Television, Sports and business/financial time references, and is thus the most important time zone in the world.
-- Yo, what time does the Broncos game start tomorrow?

-- In Real People Time (RPT), please.
-- 5:00 PM then.

Real People Time (RPT)

Commonly misconstrued as East Coast Time, Real People Time is in fact based on Pacific Standard Time. Some say this misconception was the basis for much violence in the Hip Hop community beginning in the 1960’s, but others dispute such claims, insisting RPT was not likely coined until 1979 when Stanley "Tookie" Williams, was sentenced to San Quentin Prison in California, and used as a way to discreetly communicate which Coast one represented.

Today however, it is generally used as a Standardized Time Zone (see: Greenwich Mean Time) in order for friends around the country or world to plan remote activities I.e. online gaming.

abandonware 

n. software that is no longer sold or supported by the original publisher / developer, often found as free downloads on the internet because it cannot be obtained elsewhere. Not legal, but often seen as morally acceptable because the company that made it is no longer selling the title, nor releasing it as freeware, therefore abandonware is "keeping the game alive", so to speak.
Doom II is not abandonware because id still sells it, while The Incredible Machine is not sold, therefore is abandonware.
