      You are definitely not alone; what else could SDI mean? Don't panic! And don't forget to take your towel...

        Not that I know of, just that when dealing with space lasers, I think it's a good idea to keep a towel handy. You never know... :suss:

          Hi All, Being a child of the 80's I think SDI as Strategic Defense Initiative, or Star Wars (Space lasers taking out commie nukes). I am bothered by this please tell me I'm not alone... :((

                    For me SDI stands for Single Document Interface (the opposite of MDI). I blame it on my early days with Delphi.

                      I associate SDI with the name of a group of small, local convenience stores (long since closed): Super Drive In.

                        I have a C++/MFC SDI application whose development started in 1999 and I'm still maintaining. It was never a candidate for MDI.

                          What else does SDI mean? SDI was an excuse to hide all sorts of secret projects and apparently still is.
