Stop mezzanine about

‘The term “mezzanine card” has been widely accepted as a term for a card that is mounted slightly above a main board,’ says Michael Turner at the Financial Services Association. ‘HP uses this term in its blades, such as the BL20p, for example.’
This was obviously not exciting enough for HP, which wanted to go one better. Or, more literally, half better. ‘The more recent BL30p has a mezzanine card, but you can also buy a balcony card for it,’ says Michael. ‘I’m just waiting for the porch card or the window box card.’
