PERSONAL COMPUTER

   OED has the late 1970s for "personal computer."
   "Your 'Personal Computer' for Higher Creativity" is in an ad by EAI Electronic Associates Inc., Long Branch, NJ, in DATAMATION, May/June 1959, pg. 29.
   DATAMATION ran a series called "All About Paper Tape" in July/August and September/October 1959.  No "chad," but all of the tape machines are shown.

MAGIC BRAINS & COMPOSERS OF SAUSAGE RECIPES

   From DATAMATION, May 1961, pg. 17:

   As a national voice for information processing, it is hoped that the public image of the profession will be swayed from "magic brains" and "composers of sausage recipes" to a more realistic concept of the contributions of computing.

MRO

   MRO=Maintenance, Repair, and Operations.
   Another "m" not in the OED.
