Derek Martin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> asks:
>>> Just out of curiosity, how the hell does one get "The Q" from Compaq???
>>>The origin of the name 'Compaq' was that their first product was
"compact" (and it was the first relatively compact PC) and the
Q stands for Quality, which is what they pride themselves on.

Also, it's simply a convenient shorthand, like "M$" is for another entity. "The Q" is
referenced as such all the time on the AlphaNT list.
