Most anything can be easy to remember if you don't go nuts and call your product DC294.59-32xb or something equally retarded. Thinking up cute acronymns can be amussing but is hardly useful unless you tweak it to make it easy to locate. I think 'Walmart Superstore' makes more sense than if they'd named all their stores something cute like 'BASS' (big ass super store). Not that the cute acronyms aren't fun but I hardly think they are important enough to hold a religious debate over. :) _______________________________________________ Chat mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.freenetproject.org/mailman/listinfo/chat
