When they say Rig, the first thing that always comes to mind is a BIG RIG aka 18 wheeler aka tractor trailer aka hauler, etc.

The second thing that comes to mind is fishing, many people refer to their poles, lures, boats, or pole towers as their rigs. The third is any contraption we could come up with in boyscouts to solve problem, we used to use the word rig(s). Computers are the second to last thing I think about when people use the word rig.

when people say "rig" I think of the mast, stays, sails, boom and shrouds on a sailboat.
