It's a mnemonic device. The sentence is easy to remember, and the first letter of every word in the sentence refers to a word in the to be remembered material, making it easy to remember the order.

Please Do Not Throw Sausage Pizza Around = PDNTSPA

Physical Layer, Data Link Layer, Network Layer, Transport Layer, Session Layer, Presentation Layer, Application Layer

P =physical
D = data
N = network
etc.

It would look really good referring to it as a molex in the exam

Well the exam is multiple choice and according to this piano-propper I have, molex or Molex is the hard drive connector. Mini and mini-sub (I think) being the other ones - used for FDDs. Also, you have the P8 and P9, and P1 connectors. Oh and P4

I can see me ending up like a covert CIA operative. I'll be in the supermarket and someone will say "orange" and I'll start reciting the various colour books. Or someone will say "red wine" and I'll say "Five volts".

It gets worse

I'm now onto the chapter on SCSI devices. God what a mess. Ultra, Ultra Wide, Ultra Wide Fast with fairy lights, LVD, HVD, SE, HGV

I've got to remember cable lengths, maximum devices, and transfer rates. My head hurts. None of it is any use

I can remember when you had two or three choices and you were happy and grateful.

The only one I've ever been able to remember is

People Cant Memorize Computer Industry Acronyms

which I used in my GCSE Computer Science Exam

Every other time I've just been able to remember it 'as is'

That's the next chapter I think - portable computers. I think I have to remember the various flavours of PCMCIA though. I'm getting too old for studying.
