Hi Martin, For just a moment, I thought you were serious.
I was. That _is_ the first thing I think of in relation to Glasgow and software. Just because it's not the latest technology doesn't make me forget the association. ;-) It does seem pretty strange to be naming software after a city, though. Apache Tokyo, anyone? Apache New York? But if you have to pick a Scottish city to name it after, I'd recommend Edinburgh - it's a much nicer city anyway. ;-) -- Martin Cooper JavaBeans Activation Framework, 1999.
JavaBeans Drag and Drop, 1998. If Glasgow were really a software name to be worried about, I think we might have heard more of it in the last 6 years...
