I read it special edition like motherboard / slimmed edition. Usually SE is a trimmed down edition...



Or "Standard Edition" ala Java SE...really not doing themselves any favors with the ambiguous, expanded naming conventions here.


Or "Second Edition" ala Windows 98 SE.


Or "system expansion" as in the Mac SE which followed the Mac Plus with an internal hard drive and developer accessible bus. (It was followed by the SE/30 which was a great machine. Things went downhill in naming from there.)
