Could "quad" be a reference to new "core" (there's one!) Intel chips? If so, then "duo" too. Also, "two" and "oh." As in "version two point oh" instead of "new release" or "second major release." My Firefox was somehow "Firefox two point oh" across all builds and revisions until "Firefox 3 beta" and now somehow I just have Firefox 3, or Firefox, again. Until I have a problem, and then I have to refer to the version. Specifically. Help! Oh yeah there's a dropdown menu for that. So "help."

Thank you all for your help so far. I have added all your recent comments to the list.
I will be honest, I love the Net and its slang but have never heard the term epeen or a related one. Wow. The Internet is a scary place/idea/destination/highway/car/tube. Much like the Wild West...ooh, need to add that one...
In case anyone is counting here is a newer list with the additions thus far. Thanks again and please do keep them coming!
