I've always loved the early CA product naming scheme (CA-1, CA-7, et al.). Just 
think what that saved in marketing costs (to secure rights to a name), not to 
mention tsuris in internal naming meetings!

Of course, if they'd kept with it, we'd now be arguing over whether CA-237 or 
CA-984 was the better choice for a particular problem.

Maybe the folks who came up with that scheme are now at IBM, naming z boxes? 
(Yes, yes, I *know* the numbers in "z196" and "z114" mean something, I'm just 
sayin'...)
