I know this may be kinda of a lame question but - In the file extension >PST what do the letters P-S-T stand for?
I was kinda embarassed when someone asked me and I didn't know.

Just guessing, haven't researched it, but I would guess it doesn't stand for anything except a shortened version of "Post" as in "Postal" or "Post Office.

Actually, the extension PST refers to "Personal File Folders", not Personal Storage, though I do believe thats where the actual name comes from.
