Yes, I've had to explain that to a couple of people who were already
familiar with wxWindows, and unfamiliar with .NET.

Definitely, .NET is a big name now, for obvious reasons. :)

If Toshiba happens to release this product, wx.NET would be on the
loosing battle of the name game. :(

I've also been looking into registering a domain for wx.NET, and the
only reasonable one I could come up with (that already wasn't taken) was
wxdotnet.org or wxdot.net.  Both pretty lame.

The only other names that I can think of are along the lines of 'wx#'
and 'wxSharp'.
