I had to go with Scorpius/Braca, as in "I had trouble installing the 2nd hard drive, but once I got the new one braca'd into the main Scorpy drive, it all went smoothly."

Had to go with Scorpy/Braca, but if one of the choices had been Avatar of the Game Embodied/You Poor Player, well, that would have just changed everything...

"Secondary Scorpius."
"Primary Braca."

Yeah! I like it. But I have to add a write-in: Clu/Bit. =P

I almost forgot

I'm so damn offended at all the possible terms that could be used that I think the only way to resolve this is to assign specific head nods to each item. If it's a slave, then you nod once 13 degrees left, 6 degrees down with eyes open and mouth closed, with no descernable emotional response. If it's master, then nod 3 times 38 degrees right, 22 degrees down, eyes shut mouth open and make sure you purse you lips just so you look surprised but ambiguous.

If anyone has any modifications to this, please say so now before I write I my congressman.

hypersensitive/hyposensitive

victim/perpetrator

ignorant/arrogant

anal/retentive

OMG - you're right ALL TERMS are offensive, and not just drive configuration terms!!!! We must quit speaking at once. Gestures can be considered offensive too. Don't even smile - it can be construed as baring your teeth, an agressive sign.

I'm offended by single. I'm not gonna tolerate it, even though I will force others to be tolerant of everyone else, my liberal mentality allows me (only me and others like me) not to be tolerant.

I'm also offended by black and white images. The horror...

I demand a tantrum be set in motion in my honor...
