Re: Announcing: Testing Computer Software Conference (TCS2001)

["Marin David Condic" <marin.condic.auntie.spam@pacemicro.com>]

The term "software" may have started as the counterpoint to computer
hardware, but I think it gets used quite a bit in other areas now. For
example, one buys or rents "software" for one's VCR or DVD.

The one that's always bothered me was the ACM - Association for Computing
Machinery? The last time I was at a meeting, there were no computing
machines in attendance - or even registered as members. (The AI field may
one day change this?) It is an association for *PEOPLE* with an interest in
computing machines. Maybe it should have been the "Association for Computing
Professionals" or something like that.

But I digress....... (Send the Usenet Cops out after me before I digress
again! :-)
