      From: dieterhansbritz@gmail.com              I thought this is a German word and wondered about it.       But I am told it's Dutch, where Winkel means shop, hence       a shopping cart. Why is shop Winkel in Dutch? I suspect       that Winkel, as in German, means angle.              --       db              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
