A Project Acronym

[Tom Droege <droege@wwa.com>]

Those that know find me shameless about inventing acronyms.  In my past are
such marvels as the "Magnificent Multi Muon Mass and Momentum Monitoring
Machine", the M7.  The "Redundant Analog Bus Based Information Transfer" or
Rabbit.  Both published in distinguished journals.

There is also the P4, or "Passionate Pink Pulse Producer".  There was in
fact a P6, the "Pre Production Passionate Pink Pulse Producer".  We worked
out ways to discuss it up to P10.  At a major government laboratory I
succeeded in naming projects "Hail" and "Dam".  Then there was a project
built around an awful pun involving a stripper at the "Wedge" in
Philadelphia.  So you should not be surprised that I have thought up a name
for the present project. 

This was inspired by seeing "Deep Impact" last night.  This has removed all
desire to be in any way associated with comet or asteroid searches.  
I will concentrate on all sky mapping.

We now have:

MASTER

"Mark IV All Sky Twin Electronic Recorder"

Don't be upset.  I have had "Stereo Position Large Angle Transient
Telescope" waiting for a project to use it for so long that the ink has
faded.  

This is not a democratic process.  I name 'em as I see 'em.
