Bryan, thanks for pointing it out.
Actually, the story says it was created during an x-windows standards
committee meeting that was occuring at MIT.
So I am not sure the association should be with MIT as much as x-windows
standards, assuming the person who told Barry is correct that this is
the first instance, to begin with.
However, I am glad that they weren't meeting at a Howard Johnsons, or we
would be crediting HoJos with inventing the term.
;-)
Or maybe we would be using the term "InNa" instead?

Hi Tex,
According to an article I read by Barry Caplan, these acronyms come
from MIT. Would anyone like to comment on this version?
