Sorry, can't resist :-)
Any time I see such a name for a piece of software, I'm
trying to figure out what the single characters could stand
for. Thus I'm looking for a good interpretation of TOAST. So
far I have
Tuple
Outgrown
Attribute
Storage
Technique
It somehow reflects what the toaster should do for us.
Well, outgrown could be replaced by obscure, off-beat, off-
side, omnipotent, outcast and many more. Omnipotent is my
second choice.
Some other ideas?
Jan
