>>To me ... a fan, is a fan ... and one less acronym is needed in this
world.

To me too. I'm confused as to the engineer's point though...what kind of
gizmo inside a machine qualifies as an Air Moving Device (AMD), but not as a
fan (technically speaking, of course). Was this just an instance of someone
trying to substitute incomprehensible mumbo-jumbo for clear wording, or is
there an actual difference between the thing with spinning blades and an
AMD? If the latter, I've learned something new today and can go home. If
the former, I'm surprised the engineer had the cojones to put forth such an
asinine proposition.
