Oh! The good daemons! "benevolent or benign nature spirits...". Not in the Judeo-Christian tradition, for sure :-) Also got me curious about the C.S. ethymology of the word. According to the venerable Jargon File (which has entries for both "daemon" and "demon"), it is named in honor of one of Maxwell's thought experiments!
