It does for me too, but that's a _good_ thing. :-) I believe the Amiga team wanted a word with friendly associations, and they started looking through various dictionaries. They wanted "Amica" (Latin for friendly, I think), but there was a calculator or something called that, so they went for "Amiga", which I think means "Female friend" in Spanish. The above story is one I have seen in various incarnations, and I think it's probably at least half true, but don't quote me on it. :-) Amity is a great name, in my opinion.
