Actually, I think it was Roy Baker who submitted the VistA name. Gordon

It seems like Microsoft and VA have a history of using the same name for different things. Like DHCP. I wonder if VA ever copyrighted the name VistA? If so, think of the publicity that could be generated by a copyright infringement case. For those of you who didn't know it, here's a bit of VistA trivia for you. VistA was re-named from DHCP in a contest held within the VA about 10 years ago. If memory serves me Cameron submitted the winning name. My submittal was VAMIS (VA Medical Information System), along with a slogan, "We're famous for VAMIS". Anyway, I still like VAMIS, but I'm afraid I'm an army of one. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Nancy Anthracite Sent: Friday, July 22, 2005 10:00 AM To: hardhats-members@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [Hardhats-members] Windows Vista!!!!! Let us hope the VistA spelling catches on better than it did with the NY Times, as it might help a little! On Friday 22 July 2005 09:26 am, Greg Kreis wrote: > Oh no!
