I named GenScrnX for GENSCRN.prg eXtended. Then people would sometimes call me the X-Man, or Mr. X, etc. Sometimes people at Microsoft call me KenX. Then other programs were written like GenRepoX and GenMenuX, etc. I think X is now a common extension for "extended" in computer terms, and I can see a trend with VFP tools and stuff from GenScrnX, but I see no connection with VFP tools and things like ActiveX or DirectX, etc. I did want a web site URL with the X extension, and since sometimes I teach technology (as in a class room) and because I really like OOP (using classes), I thought of ClassX, to have a dual meaning as a class room and a define class. The fact it is almost pronounced Classics is just fun, but not the intention. I think it's also easy to remember, which is important for any URL.
