 Yeah, that's what MS say it means. And it was that, in that they got rid
 of the old DOS stuff, and NT and its children is certainly a much better
 OS than 9x and its - funny how much of the NT design seems to borrow
 ideas from Unix though... Still have to say Nice Try, but No Thanks. :-)

That's what I thought MS said it means too, until I read a recent Win2K promo
that went something like: "Windows 2000. Built with NT technology.". Looks like
the same kind of redundancy as 'ATM machine' to me.

Wrong! It means Nauseating Trash although some misinformed people
seem to think it means Network Toy.

No, no,no...you all have it wrong!  :)  NT means Not Today. In reference
to are you gonna run longer than a few hours before experiencing an
abend that I am forced to reboot the server AGAIN and take down the
system in the process? Asks the network admin to his tempraMENTAL,
over-priced, NT ladened server.  :)

Well, if *that's* how it is, I now know where I got my philosohy of active
procrastination from!

AND, how I learned to spend so much of the department's budget on software
to combat that thing called, oh what was it now "NT crash recovery"?
