devices are here to stay... USB is a sign. Different media, same concept.My first printer had a parallel Centronics Interface, but in 1991 I wrote a C library to control devices via a RS232 serial connection.

A brief conversation between two stoners:12:00pm includes the mid point of the day and the 59.999999 seconds that come after it, all the way up to 12:01pm.
The 12:00 that follows 11:59am is mostly past the point of midday and in no way before it, hence pm.
