Now all we should do is to call a master drive the white drive and a slave
drive a black drive--or the other way around depencing upon your preference.
We can even ads yellow, red, and mixed drives for multimple drive systems.
We can establish a pecking order for ranking drives. Maybe we should
describe drives as emporer, king, prince, duke... drives. I purposefully
leave out empress, queen, and princess out as descriptors so that women can
have something to bitch about.
