Ted, <Do you remember all the complaints when AMD announced the name, Athlon? Now most think its a very cool name.>

Yeah, but "Duron" would have been a very cool name if it didn't sound like a popular brand of paint.

Oh well. If AMD really wanted to push the "me too" mentality of brand names, they would have named Spitfire after a vegetable, just like crunchy Celery-stick Celeron. How about "Carroton"? Or "Tomatoron"? "Broccolon"?
