The conversation about TRS-80 and PS/2, I had to point out that the computer
industry seems plagued by brand names that are easily parodied. I wonder
why these companies don't think about the nicknames their products will
acquire once they reach the end user. Here are a few I can think of:
DB/2, PS/2, OS/2: Half a {computer, database, operating system}
PS/2: Piece of Snot/2
TRS-80: Trash-80
Thinkpad: Stinkpad
Intellistation: Repellistation
Aptiva: Craptiva
Logitech: Logiwreck
Can you think of others?
