What does eZ stand for? - dasGnu - Aug 8 18:52:32 2008
Hello,=20

Short for "easy" (which is often mispronounced e-zee). The lower case
'e' is a similar style to terms like eCommerce.
In other words marketing lingo ;-)

It only works in the American language. If you say it in English then it
comes out as
Eee Zed four thirty...

There's no such language as American. It's a bastardised form of English.

I know that, it's just that Americans suffer from the delusion that they
speak (and spell) in English ;-)

Exept they think they are speaking some language called 'american'.
On that vein, One of the funniest things I've seen is in Notre Dame
Cathedral, not normally the place for jokes! On the righ hand entrance
from the main square where the tourists enter is a sign stating that
audio tours are available in 9 different languages, with a flag to
indicate which languages are available. oddly enough There is no union
Flag, but there is a starts and stripes!! That's taking Anglo French
rivalry a bit too far!

Re: What does eZ stand for? - Hugh Molesworth - Aug 9 19:28:01 2008
A friend has some students staying for the summer, they come here
(South-West California) to learn English at a local school. I had to
look askance at her when she said they were from France.
By the way, there was a post about SimpliciTi vs Zigbee recently; at
the MSP430 ATC they gave away a nice development board based on a
MSP430F5438 with a SimpliciTi implementation as part of the labs.
This board is destined to become available for purchase, though I
don't see it in eSore as yet. It has an iPod LCD display and a CCxxxx
eval board header.
