POST, short for Power On Self Test, is the initial set of diagnostic tests performed by the computer right after it's powered on. Computers aren't the only devices that run a POST. Some appliances, medical equipment, and other devices also run very similar self-tests after being powered on.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Port of Montevideo. The Port of Montevideo (Spanish: Puerto de Montevideo), in the northern part of the Old City of Montevideo, Uruguay, is one of the major ports of South America and plays a very important role in the economy of Uruguay.
Montevideo's port is actually in a terrific location, just next to the historic center of the Ciudad Vieja at the southern tip of the city. The port is small enough that you can walk right from your ship into the heart of the old town in just a few minutes.
