Thats an official computer term? That IS funny.
It's an old english form of the word demon.
I can see how it translates into the computer definition of the word.
Daemons are from the either or in the way I use it, the Realm of Chaos. They do not materialize until summoned by "earthly" followers. Or they are "invoked" into existance in the material realm.
Thanx for letting me know the newer definition. I'll add it to my mental dictionary. (cant you tell I'm comp illit?)
