I also liked the names, but it is easier to reference an update using the numbers format.  But, hey, write your own names on the cover sheet i.e.  Oil Can
                                             P.T.
                                             Que
                                             Rat Pack
 
well, maybe not.

It's just that I mourn a little when another few grams of humanity are squeegeed out of the software industry.




Exactly.

Maybe they could have had both - the March one could have been called "Orleans - 2016.03.71" for example.  Have the best of both worlds....  I miss trying the guess the next town name...


Wait until you get to be my age. Guessing the next month's not so easy. Heck, I have trouble remembering what day it is.
 
Plus, I'm not sure that I want to get to know Massachusetts that well. I spent enough time there when I was working for a living. Great place to visit. I always had a blast. Well, except for Logan.

I liked the naming too, but I guess maybe mom and dad got home and told the kids to knock it off. :)


Yes, someone is still not allowed to watch television for 17 more days. 



Aw, geez, all the kids do it!

Or MMXVI.III.LXXI
Or 7E0.03.47
Or ZOIG.O3.7I

Gotta love the Roman numerals, and the hex is a nice touch. I don't recognize the ZOIG thing though, what is that?
 
How about octal? 3740.03.107

ZOIG = 2016

Or binary

I get it. Ha! That one flew right over my head. I was thinking it was some strange alternative coding scheme that I'd never heard of. Very clever, lol.
