Now they can breathe a sigh of relief when they propose to use it for Prince Charles' website ;) I for one dislike the TurboGears name, to me it sounds very 1980's when turbo was stuck on everything. "Introducing the new Turbo Whizzmatic 2000!" What originally derived from turbine, the working part of a mechanical turbocharger, morphed into meaning "super-duper", "extra-fast", "advanced", etc. I thought those days were behind us, now I have to go into meetings and announce I might be using TurboGears. I expect snickers. Oh well, the proof of the pudding is in the results, not the name. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TurboGears" group.
