Now you've got me curious.  I can't think of more than one "entirely
different and unrelated" computer meanings of "service": basically,
"something with a defined interface which you can call on to make
something happen".  Everything I would call a "service" is some form of
that: code you call when programming, a network protocol, whatever.
And, conversely, anything fitting that definition could be called a
`service', though certainly many of them have more precise names.

What am I missing?
