They keep changing the names, anyway. The next release was originally to be Mangy Muskrat, followed by Naughty Nyala, Odious Opossum and Putrid Panda.

Phew! At least 2 years, then, before we reach "that general part of the
human body"! :-)

After the animal name series, they will use the names of CP/M
machines ...like "Allie Altos". "Ozzie Osborne" will be my favorite. I
hope I live long enough to install it! Huh, I'm stuck trying to remember
what CP/M machine starts with a "B". Damn... time to google.

I don't know, but I remember the first computer I used. It was a Swedish
CP/M machine named ABC80.
