Still Waiting for an Answer

A week or so ago here, I asked a question about the distinction -- if
any -- between 'podcasting' and audio/video 'streaming' which is a
technique which has been on the net for a long time.

No one has yet replied! Is 'podcasting' just a new name for an old
technique? Is it thus named because the (rather specialized) computers
which are used for receiving 'podcasts' do not typically do any other
functions like 'normal' computers? Is it because 'podcasters' often
times do not have any 'regular, over-the-air' type broadcasts to
accompany their computerized streaming presentations?

Can anyone answer these questions, or is 'podcasting' just much ado
about nothing new?
