Knute, what is EDT?


     He probably means one or more of

     * Eastern Daylight Time, the civil time standard now in
       effect where I live.

     * A text/source editor for (Open)VMS.

     * Eau de toilette, a range of perfume strengths.

     * Ensconce Data Technology, maker of data-destruction products.

     * Estelle Development Toolkit, a suite of tools for formal
       specification and analysis of communicating systems.

So, choose whichever of these makes the most sense in context.

     Oh, and there's a faint chance that he meant the Event
Dispatching Thread on which most Swing activities occur.

     It's long been recognized that three-letter acronyms (TLA's)
are in limited supply, and that most of them have already been
used several times. There's a move afoot to increase the
supply of TLA's by making them longer, so you can expect to see
four- and five-letter TLA's any day now.
