Just wondered how many have noticed this... Was browsing the process management window the other day and picked it up, "MOM.exe", with the caps that way and everything. It seems to be from the ATI Catalyst Control Center, so I find it likely that this might actually be the inspiration to MOM, seeing how it's pretty common...

and i doubt that its spelled uppercase because of MOM.exe, but yeah, it's possible.  ;D

Aww, I thought I was on to something. Still, awesome coincidence and I feel that much safer using my computer knowing MOM is there looking after me.
