Bryan, thanks for pointing it out. Actually, the story says it was created during an x-windows standards committee meeting that was occuring at MIT. So I am not sure the association should be with MIT as much as x-windows standards, assuming the person who told Barry is correct that this is the first instance, to begin with.
However, I am glad that they weren't meeting at a Howard Johnsons, or we would be crediting HoJos with inventing the term. ;-) Or maybe we would be using the term "InNa" instead? tex Hi Tex, According to an article I read by Barry Caplan, these acronyms come from MIT. Would anyone like to comment on this version? http://www.i18n.com/article.pl?sid=02/03/02/0345215&mode=thread&threshold= Cheers, Bryan Do Director Interloc Global Solutions, Inc. -- ------------------------------------------------------------- Tex Texin cell: +1 781 789 1898 mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Xen Master http://www.i18nGuy.com XenCraft http://www.XenCraft.com Making e-Business Work Around the World -------------------------------------------------------------
