Some computer terms translated to BM,

Dont you think that computer
terminology in Bahasa Malaysia is
really weird?

Cakera Keras = Hard Disk

Tetikus = Mouse

Papan Kunci = Keyboard

CD-ROM = Cakera Padat Ingatan Melalui
Pembacaan (CP-IMP) - Isnt that bit
too much to ingat? Try pronouncing
that without twisting your tongue or
pausing to think. IMPs?

Monitor = Whats the term for this?
KETUA DARJAH?

to me.

VESA Local Bus = Bas Tempatan VESA?
