R+D, Santa Monica Lines: 22 Here's a new topic for discussion. What are your favorite nonsense words tha you tend to use for temporary files. Personally, I tend to use words such as "gorf", "fnord", "temp", or the ubiquitous "x". Many people tend to use variations of: "fubar.tmp" "foo.bar" "bar.foo" and so on. One person I know at UCLA tends to use "blah", hence his temps are often called "blah.foo" What about you??
