The word TWAIN is from Kipling&#39;s "The Ballad of East and West" - "...and never the twain shall meet...", reflecting the difficulty, at the time, of connecting scanners and personal computers. It was up-cased to TWAIN to make it more distinctive. This led people to believe it was an acronym, and then to a contest to come up with an expansion. None were selected, but the entry "Technology Without An Interesting Name" continues to haunt the standard. "

What is TWAIN an acronym for?

If you want to call it that. I suppose it makes a a little more sense

shn owns another fool again...

Tux stands for Torvald&#39;s UniX, which was originally a joke, then stuck.

Question: Write a shell script for csh which recreates the antiquated and lame "ping of death."
