Yes, it's accepted slang for something abbreviated.

Tony or Dave,

this reference thing sounds as if it could be helpful, and I even went to 
the provided link to see if there was a little more descriptive information 
online. Now, I'm thinking I'll eventually have to give in and install IE 8 
just as I reluctantly gave in about IE 7, then had to spend some good time 
reading explanations and instructions on the Microsoft site, somewhere or 
other, and then got comfortable with it. As I said, I guess I'll have to 
give in and go forward. Although I hope I won't have to study quite so much 
as I had to in order to get familiar with IE7.

Now, here's what I don't get. Just a terminology thing. Online, at the 
company site (should I properly call it the publisher's site?), I see it's 
offered in only one format, which is a text file on CD-Rom. Now, that's okay

with me. But what I gotta ask is, why is it called a reference card? In my 
better-sighted days, that would mean a real card made of card stock on which

you'd have typed or written notes to rmeind you of points you wanted to 
make, etc. while you were giving a speech, or maybe details about how to do 
some kind of task, but without carrying around an entire instruction book.

In the digital world, has that become a new slang for something like this, 
even though it isn't really a card, and you can't use it quite the same way 
as what I just described? Seriously, glancing at a card while hesitating on 
the next word of a speech and then continuing is nothing like having to 
switch back and forth with Alt Tab between something you're doing in an 
application and looking up something on a CD-Rom. I don't mean to rain on 
anybody's parade. Somebody just tell me, is this slang now in the digital 
world for something like this thing?

thanks,
Joel
