you seem to have this porcine fixation...

Thanx so much....!-)
I have been sharing some ideas privately, so here you go too, because
you asked so nicely...
my slightly non-serious fave is:
SMUG = SCSI Marketing & Users Group
but then we also have:
SCAG = SCSI Council of Advisory Gurus
SMEG = SCSI Marketing Enterprise Group
SMUT = SCSI Marketing & Users Team
SMAC = SCSI Marketing Advisory Council
SCUM = SCSI Council of Users & Marketeers
and really stretching things:
MUTS = Marketeers and Users Teaming for SCSI
CATS = Council of Advisors and Technoids for SCSI
WORMS = World Organization of Researchers and Marketers of SCSI
STUF = SCSI Team for User Fidelity
STUD = SCSI Team for Users & Developers
SPIL = SCSI Parallel Information League
SWIL = SCSI World Information League
SCIDU = SCSI Council Integrating Developers & Users
FATSLOBSS = Formal Advisory Team to Sell Lots Of Blazing SCSI Stuff
JUGHEADS = Joint User Group Helping End-users And Developers of SCSI
STINC = "SCSI's Time Is Now" Committee
TWITS = The World Information Team for SCSI
SANC = SCSI Advisors for the Next Century
STAI = SCSI Team of Advisors to the Industry (?!)
and of course:
**** = SCSI High-performance Industry Team
had enough yet...?-)
(needless to say, no one should take any of this personally or
seriously!-)
