beginning of the curse of monkey island stands for?

Wow... ehm, I feel quite stupid now :)

But the reason why I asked it was because my demogroup's last demo had an
intro of EXACTLY the same kind. It read 'XHI' and 'the audience is
listening'. Also the sound was the same.... I wasn't yet in that demogroup
(Green is how we are called) when they made that part but they told me they
thought it out themselves - they'd even never seen the Curse of Monkey
Island...

So could anyone give me the releasedate of The Curse Of Monkey Island?

The demo I'm talking about was released in the end of August '98 and is
available at
ftp://skynet.stack.nl/pub/demos/green/gr1_ctrl.zip
It's not the final version yet, thus it still contains some bugs. We're
still working on the final.

(a demogroup a group of people programming free 'movies', using regular
programming languages - just about all visual 3d effects you'll find in new
games have been done by democoders and then copied by the game programmers -
many democoders also work on 3d games by the way - go visit www.hornet.org
and click the 'PC Demos Explained' link - believe me, you'll find demos
fantastic. btw, i am NOT talking about shareware versions of games, but of
free movies relatively small in size because they're exe files and not avi
or mpeg)

Well, it's more likely another "inside joke".
CMI, being Curse of Monkey Island, but the entire phrase is actually a
spin on the THX logo and phrase.
