Well I guess my "subtle" hint in my last message was too much!!! If you can't guess, Michael Murphy and Wetzel are the ones who correctly guessed it... and in the same minute as well a indicated by the Post time!!

Well now that I've had my fun, you can all go and read another thread!!!!

Look for that personal slogan of mine to appera in my signature in the near future!!!

Later all you Hep Cats!

SMAEA makes an easy acronym

:) It's a recursive acronym like GNU and KDE ... I guess only us computer geeks could apreciate it :)

Oh ok I get it now!! lol

Is that like calling it an ATM Machine. It's a little redundant don't you think???

Not really, but I see your point about the 'AT Machine' :)

Quote:

recursive acronym

<convention> A hackish (and especially MIT) tradition is to choose acronyms and abbreviations that refer humorously to themselves or to other acronyms or abbreviations. The classic examples were two MIT editors called EINE ("EINE Is Not Emacs") and ZWEI ("ZWEI Was EINE Initially"). More recently, there is a Scheme compiler called LIAR (Liar Imitates Apply Recursively), and GNU stands for "GNU's Not Unix!" - and a company with the name CYGNUS, which expands to "Cygnus, Your GNU Support".

Not exactly. It'd be like calling an ATM an ATM teller machine.

So you're the one who made up that saying? Wow! I'm so honored to have (nearly) met the originator of such a time honored maxim. :D
