Sorry, I thought it was in wider use when I penned that...

"spin" is one of many jargon words for creating the iso image.
(I've always assumed it came from creating phonograph records
and some association with that, but I really have no idea or
data to back up that assumption and would welcome any correction
from anyone with real data...)

By extension, to "respin" is to create a new iso image.
