RE: Velcro or "hook and loop"

[Maggie Pierce Secara <maggiros -at- yahoo -dot- com>]

Their main web page title is: Velcro USA Inc.: The
Industry-Standard Hook & Loop Fasteners  Oh and if
their use of the trademark symbol is any indicator,
it's still a trademark. 

So I suppose hook and loop is the answer.
