Anyone else find the "Active" prefix used in the names of Rails components a grating reminder of a certain Microsoft theme from the '90s?

(yeah, yeah, i'm sure Rails has a much better reason for using it than MS did, but it doesn't matter, i'll always associate it with COM BS, the way i'll always associate *Gator with shady adware)

hehe, the naming does remind me of Microsoft circa the '90s. And Rails doesn't have a good reason why they call it Active*, they just do.

Does Post.find(:one) work as expected?
