You're joking, aren't you? 
...Anyway, just in case, perl is a language, aub was a perl script used when news clients still lacked bynary attachment decoding capabilities, uuencode/decode are encoder and decoder to put binaries attachments into 7bit ASCII news messages, mtools are tools used by Unix systems to handle DOS floppy filesystems, Risc Station was the first IBM workstation to use POWER Risc architecture, that later, adding features from Motorola 88000 Risc CPU (they formed a joint-venture) gave birth to PowerPC architecture, still used in all the current gen consoles, including Cell's general purpose cores, ED was a 2.88MB floppy disc, SyQuest produced magnetic removable disc cartridges and drives in the tens and hundreds MB capacity range competing with iomega Zip and MO drives are magneto-optical drives, still used in niche markets, while downgraded cheap versions of its close relative and competitor, phase-change optical drives (using only lasers and not a magnetic field too), gave birth to CD-RW, DVD-RAM and DVD+-RW.
