Wetware anyone?

Reading through Module 1 I come across the term "wetare" a quick search in Dictionary.com gives me the following explanation.

wetware

/wet'weir/ n. [prob. from the novels of Rudy Rucker]
1. The human nervous system, as opposed to computer hardware or software. "Wetware has 7 plus or minus 2 temporary registers."
2. Human beings (programmers, operators, administrators) attached to a computer system, as opposed to the system's hardware or software.
