Actually, I doubt that that journalist would know what Aurora or Solaria refer to, and if he did, he would be one of us anyway :-). > > I suppose if the card is called Aurora then the chip could be named Eos? > > From the wikipedia article: "The largest 'city' on the planet was Eos, > > the administrative and robotic centre of Aurora where Han Fastolfe and > > Gladia Solaria lived." > > That's certainly an amusing pattern.

Actually, I don't think there were going to be an add-on card, since the connector for the add-on card would be just as expensive as just putting the tv-out on there in the first place. But a nice idea nonetheless. Anyway, it's Timothy's baby, he'll decide the name :-).
