POJO is one of my favorite acronyms. Along with POTS and COTS.
POTS = Plain Old Telephony System COTS = Commercial Off-The-Shelf

> POTS = Plain Old Telephony System I worked for NY Telephone for years in the '80s, and it was referred to there as "Plain Old Telephone Service" not System. Not that it's a big deal at this point!
