RE: Internet or internet?

["Johan Hiemstra" <webmaster -at- techexams -dot- net>]

Tomatoes, tomatoes ;)

I will keep capitalizing the "I" in Internet. (Unless that becomes
incorrect in English spelling.) My reason for doing so is quite simple.
It is 'the' Internet, and not just an internet as in 'internetwork',
which I commonly use in material for Cisco and general networking
technologies. I.o.w. it is a name. 

Compare it for example with Internet Protocol (IP). IPX can be
considered an internet protocol, not an Internet protocol like 'the'
Internet Protocol.

Same goes for Web and the Net (although I never use the latter unless
I'm referring to the Sandra Bullock movie.)
