What's your point?

Anybody want to alert the administration to change "garmelin" to "smiley" in Account Preferences?

My point is that you said that "all" instances have been changed to smilies.  I was correcting you.

I always figured that it was sort of a computer tradition to subsitute "e" in an existing word with "ae" to make it more old-fashioned sounding and set it apart from the original word as a specialized term. Demon becomes daemon, gremlin becomes graemlin, and possibly some other examples exist.

I used to see "daemon" when loading Doom 2 on my old PC.  I always assumed it was some sort of "super-demon" script ... :wink:

Yeah I think one of the Doom games was where I saw it first too. There's also Daemon tools which is a CD drive emulation program.

In multitasking computer operating systems, a daemon (/ˈdeɪmən/ or /ˈdiːmən/) is a computer program that runs as a background process, rather than being under the direct control of an interactive user.

Interesting!  Thanks for the info.  I never knew exactly what "daemon" meant or did until now ...

That is pretty cool. I always used to think it was just an alternative spelling of "demon", but meant the same thing.
