And A-Eon is a very long time period ....

Risky name?

Other meaning of AEON from wiki are:-

The eternal world of ideas (Plato)

"Eternal life" comes from the word for life, zoe, and a form of aeon (Christianity)

The various emanations of God (Gnostic systems)

The beginning (Greek)

but ...................................................... perhaps it is just an anagram of A-One?

MAC phonetically means a "poppy" in polish and a few (PPC!) poppy species are used as a source of drugs (e.g. heroine ("synthesized from morphine[sic!]", a derivative of the opium poppy" - thx wikipedia, and of course: opium) Then, to sum it up, we have a beautfiul AOS4-X1000-MorphOS connection (a quote from the wikipedia "Morpheus" article): 'Little Nemo[sic!] in Slumberland, a comic about a boy's surreal dreams, includes a supporting character named "King Morpheus"'. My god - what a bundle of symbols! (and i didn't say a word about AROS!!!...) EDIT: typos.
