[HLUG] Linux on University Challenge again!

[Julian Robbins]

Hi

You might remember that a I mentioned few months back they managed to 
fit in some Linux questions on BBC2's University Challenge.

Well on Monday night, they asked what the acronym was for _the_ driver 
for scanners and digital cameras. TWAIN was the answer. Just as I was 
thinking 'no that's not the driver for MAC OS X and Linux and everything 
else', the next question, was what does the acronym, SANE stand for? 
Which is Scanner Access Now Easy - which is predominantly a Linux system 
to get scanners and digital cameras working with a single _open_ interface.

So they're sticking up for Linux, and this time, they didn't even 
mention it. Obviously, they think (hopefully) that Linux is so much in 
the psyche today, that everyone knows what SANE is, in the same way that 
TWAIN is.
