As a first humble contribution to this fascinating community, may I offer
Markus a second line of defense (just in case) in the form of the name
footOS
I think it has a few apt connotations:
-- footling (is that an English word?) approach (as opposed to High&Mighty)
-- foton (ahem) speed
-- frequent programmer's expression (as in "now it's ok my foot!")
-- of course, the time honoured and revered "foo" (as in foo.c, foobar, etc.)
(my guess is Markus will like this best)
-- and so forth - oops, sorry Ralph!
"I herewith claim Copyright (c) for the above product name until proven wrong
by someone's lawyer."
So don't take it away, it's exclusively for Markus if and when he might need
it.
Now, Is there any danger for "NQC"...?
