Every time I saw what SPOOL stood for, I laughed at the people who
pretended that it was better to have an acronym than have it mean
"spool". I wondered if it was for copyright purposes, and whether
that would hold up in court.
Howard, I don't understand your point. The term "spool" as we use it
today came from somewhere. I don't know for sure if that ancrnym is the
primal source, but it is as good as any.
