I first met that name on our old DOS and OS/2 systems, set up by my
Dad. It was a directory on whichever drive was appropriate (exactly
one per installation - we wouldn't risk a network dependency here),
and had programs that would probably go in /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin
on a Unix system. Part of setting up a new OS/2 installation was
always copying E:\SHED (the network drive) to D:\SHED, and putting
D:\SHED\NPSWPS\NPSWPS.EXE into Startup. (NPS WPS Enhancer, awesome
program. If you have OS/2, get it. What, you don't have OS/2 anywhere?
What a surprise.)

Other people had, for instance, a C:\BELFRY (best place to have BATs,
you know), or other such names. What's your favorite
directory/repository name for a concretion of ... random stuff?
