Subject: Boustrophedon

Here's an item from an email newsletter called "TidBits" that covers things Macintosh. This
particular issue was devoted to the MacWorld conference in San Francisco:

"Thanks to Mark Kriegsman for telling us that the word for our habit of starting at one end of a
hall and systematically working our way up and down aisles so we don't miss much is
'boustrophedon.' Extra thanks to TidBITS Contributing Editor Matt Neuburg, (who was Adam's
[Engst, I believe, editor of newsletter -GAB] Classics professor in a previous life) for explaining
that the word comes from the Greek words 'bou,' meaning 'ox,' and 'strophe,' meaning 'to turn.'
