Although most people think of DOS as a PC OS, it was originally a mainframe OS and is now known as vVSE: DOS/360 and successors - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Same with VM, most people think of Java VM or VMWare but the original was also a mainframe operating system: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VM_(operating_system)Originally posted by vwdan View Post“Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.”Comment

The word TWAIN is not officially an acronym, but it is a backronym. The official website notes that "the word TWAIN is from Kipling's The Ballad of East and West — '...and never the twain shall meet...' — reflecting the difficulty, at the time, of connecting scanners and personal computers. It was up-cased to TWAIN to make it more distinctive. This led people to believe it was an acronym, and then to a contest to come up with an expansion. None was selected, but the entry Technology Without an Interesting Name continues to haunt the standard.Comment
