Which is, of course, a hoot.
Vinnie and I have David's log footprints on the e$ homepage,
<http://www.shipwright.com/> in 1995...
:-).
And, of course, I stole e$ myself, which, before I got ahold of it ;-),
used to mean a dollar in a 'eurodollar' account (there was even a magazine
called 'e$' once), instead of a dollar on the internet.
e$ is pronounced either e-dollar, or e-money, depending on what you're
talking about.
Yes, I know, emoney's not new either. Wanna bet that e-dollar isn't, either?...
Cheers,
RAH
