I think that is a "batism" (as opposed to a baptism). I also go back to FIDO (and to punched cards for that matter...I retire in two months). Sort of like Microsoft renaming "anchors" in HTML to be "bookmarks", etc, etc. Just think of the various names for "CVT" (Continuously Variable Transmission) among different car manufacturers. Remember there are actually people who sit around and make up all these clever names, just like the ones who think up clever names for every one of the hundreds of shade of blue for which they have paint chips at the paint store. dan -- The road goes on forever and the party never ends.
