- It's a little too late... The program is already 'in the field' being
- called whatever it will be called for the rest of it's life. Kinda
- silly to come down on the programmers like that complaining about
- what the 'standard' naming convention should be. They wrote it,
- they can call it whatever non-copywrited name they want.

- In theory, practice and theory are the same, in practice, theory and
- practice are different.
