 I know, I know, who cares what it means? But I happened to see this just a 
few days ago, so I couldn't resist. According to the Black Box Pocket
Glossary of communications stuff, the following is the derivation of 'BNC':
     N connector - named after Paul Neill
     C connector - named after Carl Concelman
     TNC connector - Threaded Neill-Concelman
     BNC connector - Bayonet Neill-Concelman

But they do say that the origins are 'said to be' such :)
I've never heard of a C connector, nor either of those guys, am I
missing something?

Please, if you have to flame, email me. I'm wasting enough bandwidth as is.
 
                                        Bill.
p.s. - the glossary is pretty useful, and I think I only paid $1 for it...
