I`m sorry to ask such a stupid question. Is 'TEMPEST' an acronym, and if so, what exactly does it represent?
Some have turned it into an acronyms. Originally it was just a code-word referring to emanations security. See http://www.eskimo.com/~joelm/tempest.html Of interest: "..the isle is full of noises, sounds and sweet airs that give delight and hurt not. Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments will hum about mine ears, and sometimes voices.."
From Shakespeare's "The Tempest" .. the benefits of a liberal education.
