>I feel we're just being opressed by requrements to change names of the things every now and then. Back in '88, I dared say "folder" and got very bad language from PC people, because "folder" was badspeak, reserved for Atari. Now fon ten years I'm using word "directory" and don't feel I'd change it (unless M$ confesses in public that the word was right back then and that they deliberately took it over).

LOL!

Mac was also there in '88, wasn't it? (Macintosh, which also called directories folders.) Anyway, directories were already being called folders by M$ in Windows 3.x (and earlier Windows?) Just not in DOS.

>So, what about radiooptions?

The next thing they'll call them is "those round buttons." :)

Cheers,
Rich.

P.S. - Barbara, I know you put smileys in your response, but I hope you know I wouldn't presume to criticize you. Just offered info I thought might be useful to the original poster.
