It's always been pretty clear to me that "Ordinator" has something to do with "order". To give orders, to maintain order, etc. I didn't learn it was French(ish) word until I read The Difference Engine.

I REALLY don't think the Devs wanted them to sound like a item that doesn't exist in Tamtiel (computer). --------------------  "You’ve put up a good fight, but I’m through playing.
