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. :)
