Yikes, is comp.windows.news about new windows news or about
comp.windows.NeWS? The world may never know...

Just goes to show you how confusing the term NeWS can be...
have you ever tried to describe to someone what you do at work:

"Yes mom, I work on NeWS."
"Oh! Will they be printing your articles in the Times or the Chronicle?"
"No mom... NeWS is a window server..."
"Well now, why preytell do windows need serving?"

(It just gets worse from there)

Couldn't have sun called it something else? PostView?  (blech, maybe not)

I won't even bring up tnt.
