>A rose, by any other name... Begin with dinousaurus names ( :-D ), then reptile names, then bird names, aloe names, etc. ;-D Or start with a series, like this example: 8088, 8086, 80286, 80386, 80486, etc. Or use the big 5, for example in http://www.resbank.co.za/AboutUs/PublicAwareness/Documents/A5%20all%20banknotes%20poster.pdf where all of the big 5 are shown on our country's banknotes. I like names for products if they are in a series or a group. Easier for marketing blurbs in airline magazines... :-D Groete / Greetings Elardus Engelbrecht ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
