It comes from the word: "To keep order": "to Ordinate"
Has nothing to with computers, I'm afraid. In fact "Ordinateur" also goes with the idea of order. A computer can be seen as an ordering machine, which is possibly why the french use that word. --------------------  Oliver_lowe@hotmail.com TESSource Staff |
