      postal service, comparing it to a very slow, low-reliability
      {network}.   {Sig blocks} sometimes include a "Paper-Net:"
      header just before the sender's postal address; common
      variants of this are "Papernet" and "P-Net".   Note that the
      standard {netiquette} guidelines discourage this practice as a
      waste of bandwidth, since netters are quite unlikely to
      casually use postal addresses and if they really wanted your
      {snail mail} address they could always ask for it by e-mail.
  
      Compare {voice-net}, {sneakernet}, {P-mail}.

   sun lounge
  
      (Great Britain) The room where all the {Sun}
      {workstation}s live.   The humour in this term comes from the
      fact that it's also in mainstream use to describe a solarium,
      and all those Sun workstations clustered together give off an
      amazing amount of heat.
