/ "We invented a new protocol and called  \
| it Kermit, after Kermit the Frog, star  |
| of "The Muppet Show." [3]               |
|                                         |
| [3] Why? Mostly because there was a     |
| Muppets calendar on the wall when we    |
| were trying to think of a name, and     |
| Kermit is a pleasant, unassuming sort   |
| of character. But since we weren't sure |
| whether it was OK to name our protocol  |
| after this popular television and movie |
| star, we pretended that KERMIT was an   |
| acronym; unfortunately, we could never  |
| find a good set of words to go with the |
| letters, as readers of some of our      |
| early source code can attest. Later,    |
| while looking through a name book for   |
| his forthcoming baby, Bill Catchings    |
| noticed that "Kermit" was a Celtic word |
| for "free", which is what all Kermit    |
| programs should be, and words to this   |
| effect replaced the strained acronyms   |
| in our source code (Bill's baby turned  |
| out to be a girl, so he had to name her |
| Becky instead). When BYTE Magazine was  |
| preparing our 1984 Kermit article for   |
| publication, they suggested we contact  |
| Henson Associates Inc. for permission   |
| to say that we did indeed name the      |
| protocol after Kermit the Frog.         |
| Permission was kindly granted, and now  |
| the real story can be told. I resisted  |
| the temptation, however, to call the    |
| present work "Kermit the Book."         |
|                                         |
