Actually some s/w operating systems call their run-time resource management program The Monitor. At least, that was true of some of the old DEC os's.

>Don't ever have a programmer give the name to a newborn child. They use all the possible funny names routinely. Imagine having a kid named lkJohn (l for local, k for kid class of objects).

Just as long as I don't have an ikSusan or an ikJimmy...I'm OK! ;-)
