- Hi Steve, Sorry to disagree with you, but X really did stand for something. The early design documents (which may have vanished by the time Cray was acquired) referred to the "eXtended File System".

- I thought the original filesystem for Irix, EFS, was the Extended File System ?! If it wasn't, then what did EFS stand for? Someone pleeaaaase clear this oh-so unimportant trivia up! Kai.
