[net.games.trivia] Xerox acronym

kenig (06/24/82)

Xerox is a contraction of Xerxes Ox, a mythical beast legend to be able
to make exact copies of itself. Just kidding,

Actually, xerography gets it's name from Xerox, not the
other way around.  The Xerox trademark dates from the 1950's
sometime. I believe xerography postdates that.
