If we get into programming:
mov - move
int - interupt
sub - subtract
add - add
mul - multiply
div - divide
cmp - compare
jne - jump if not equal
jnz - same as jne (this one is more correct)
jna - jump if not above
jnb - jump if not below
xor - exclusive OR logic
and - AND logic
nop - no operation
fld - load into fpu
pop - pop off of top of stack
jmp - unconditional jump
There may be more that I could be forgetting.

IBM comes to mind...
File extensions have generally 3 letters, like BMP, JPG, GIF, WAV, DOC, XLS, MDB, AVI, etc...
On this page you can find some "list of computing and IT abbreviations" with their meanings. Many of them have 3 letters:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_abbreviations
Here an excerpt:
AIX — Advanced Interactive Executive (IBM Unix)
ALU — Arithmetic and Logical Unit
AMD — Advanced Micro Devices
API — Application Programming Interface
ASP (MS ASP) — Active Server Pages
AVI — Audio Video Interleaved
BBS — Bulletin Board System
bin — binary
bit — binary digit
BMP — Basic Multilingual Plane
bps — bits per second
BSD — Berkeley Software Distribution (Unix variant)
(those were only among the letters A and B).
