I wonder if I can start an underground movement among Apple/Mac groupies,

something a little better, like SCSI (sexy).

When I first learned about the small computer systems interface, it seemed
natural to add an 'e' between the 's' and 'c' rather than a 'u' between the
'c' and 's'

Is anyone else miffed at the choice the 'standard-bearers' made?

Maybe if we .geeks band together and unite to calling scuzzy sexy, it might
be commonplace in a year....

Hunh?  Oh wait, you said Apple/Mac groupies, so I get it now.

Its scuzzy - deal with it.  :)

I'm sure Apple/Mac groupies could put their collective efforts into something
more useful, like maybe encouraging Apple to come up with cooler new colors
and shapes for the computers.  You know, things that matter more than silly
things like functionality or compatibility.
