0 Guest Posted March 16, 2008 Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 I quite like this one: WINE is a piece of software to run Windows applications under Unix-like operating systems. It stands for Wine Is Not an Emulator. Is it redundant if it's recursive? (d'oh: I just looked up "recursive acronym" under Wikipedia & there's loads. Still I like WINE 'cos is sounds like WINdows).
