As I recall, there was a dustup in the late 90's over the technical terms master and slave as applied to IDE drives in a computer. I think that one municipality (probably in California) forbid the use of those for government computers.

Well...my memory was correct about the technical terms of master and slave causing the PC police to banish them: 'Master' and 'slave' computer labels unacceptable, officials say. And it was indeed in California, Los Angeles to be specific.
