>>>>In the computer world there are many *bacronyms*. Most are just plain

ignorant. BNC=British Naval Connector. There is not a British Navy. There is

a Royal Navy. The threaded version of that connector is a TNC. Is that for

Turkish Naval Connector?<<<<
The T in TNC is for threaded. The B is for bayonet as it is a bayonet style 
connecter. Both were invented by Neill Concelman, hence the names BNC and TNC.

And I thought knowing that was useless.....
