Agreed. I chose "Second Gear" as my company name because I like auto racing. I didn't really concern myself with what others thought of the name because I really never plan to deal in an enterprise field where something like "Williams Advanced Technical Solutions" may resonate better. If you're pitching software to consumers, I'm sure they appreciate a fun, playful name. Also, BitBQ is such an awesome name. - Justin Williams [email protected] http://www.secondgearsoftware.com/ - Download Check Off: a quick, easy to-do list for your Mac <http://www.secondgearsoftware.com/checkoff/> -
