Not very good at puzzles. The only obvious thing I can see is a Java derived language - Scala. Not even sure that counts as a computer industry acronym.

that doesn't 'track' (as @gomezz pointed out / asked)... but I did post the rules later on, so I'm obviously no good at making puzzles... but did think it was quite 'cool' (can you still say that now?) that the puzzle grid was from 'Newest Members' tile-looking thingy on the Members page.

Obviously misunderstood the rules and what you mean by track. I can draw a continuous track, but not consistently horizonal or vertical, through the letters I mentioned.

You got it... for each valid answer, you have to consistently track (no changing direction)... can go any way... up-down, down-up, diagonal any way.
 
Ah! I was meaning tracking with changes of direction allowed (like the Radio Times puzzle).

And forgot to ask if there is a minimum length? That is, are two character answers allowed?

No changes of direction allowed. Two character answers allowed. All answers have to be acronyms... and computer/IT industry based ones. Company names allowed.

Do you mean à la wordsearch? (high pretentiousness quotient there)

As per BH comment, is is "à la wordsearch" - but not words, acronyms. so, actually "AcronymSearch".

Oh, and if you find multiple acronyms out of the same letters, then each one counts as a unique answer.
Here's an example... and a couple of freebies: SE = Standard Edition (Java), SE - Second Edition (Windows 98) 😁
