So what ? Of course it is. That have never been argued.

It was Caché (the database product that runs on VMS) that was discussed.
Not cache. You made a misstake, which is just fine, everyone can make
a mistake. The first time "cache" came into this thread was when
you tried to correct the two earlier mistakes ("cach" and "cash") but
made a third mistake (and also claming that the database product is
pronounced the same as "cash", which is clearly wrong, of course).

Now, if they have selected a good name or not for their product
is a different matter... :-)
