People,

What is the accepted shorthand on the list for the the book:

"The Official Guide. Programming & Customizing the Multicore Propeller Microcontroller" ?


It's an awfully long string when trying to refer to the book in posts.

What convention should we be using? Do we have one? Should we agree on one?

    TOGPACMPM? It can be remembered easily as it can be pronounced tog-pac-mpm, with the mpm spelled out.

    He died at the console of hunger and thirst.
    Next day he was buried. Face down, nine edge first.

    Hey pacman,

    Inside of Parallax we've been using PCMPM. Everybody seems to know what this means and it appears to be sticking as an acronym.

    ...and you might also call it "PCMProp" which is the name of the directory that holds all the example code and supplemental materials at·ftp://ftp.propeller-chip.com/.
