Hello,

some friends asked me today why I did resist the temptation of putting
my name in the OS name. (It just never occurred to me.) However, there
was somebody around who speaks Polish. He pointed out that Noga is
Polish for leg. Totally caught me by surprise. So much for etymology.

Markus.

(...) Will you resist the temptation 2nd time around it TLGs lawyers decide that the 'LegOS' name is a possible infringement? :) Richard(OS) (25 years ago, 25-Mar-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
