RE: Bluetooth

You're right.  It's really amazing how fast you can look stuff like this up
on the internet.  

Only reference I found to a Bork Bluetooth was in a summary of the
genealogical references in Njal's Saga.  That's probably where the name got
fixed in my subconscious.  

I still stand firm with the position that "Bork" would have been a better
name for the protocol.  <g>
