Isn't terminology fun.  I learned to call it terminal because that's 
what the folks at William & Mary called it.  I always felt this 
sounded like a program where they shot you when you were done. In 
advising students I am less reverent (though apparently equally 
imprecise) and call them "retread" programs.
