What a silly post that is. Jeep is still Jeep, and it has been for around a half century, even after being owned by Willys Overland, Chrysler, Ford, others and Chrysler again!!! Same is true with Snapple, Jaguar, Word Perfect and on and on!!! Name recognition is important to the utmost, companies spend BILLIONS on ads just to get name recognition. AND believe me US Robotics has name recognition, no brag, just fact!!! If I have offended you by insulting the 3Com name lets talk about that separately.
As far as a successful marriage goes, times have changed, think about it! It's not Marla Trump divorcing Donald. it's Marla Maples!!! What is Dolly Parton's husbands name? Is it Mr. Parton? Mr. Dolly, Big Boob or None of the above? And you must be way older then I, because the word "OBEY" wasn't in my wife's vows and we were married in 1975!!
You say:
"I don't see a single moving part in my USR modem, you call that a robot?"
Well you won't see what is moving, only the results!! And that is bits, Bytes and data!!! And US Robotics is moving it faster to the masses (general public) than any other company in the world.
You also say:
"Do you think Toyota will go out of business if they start calling themselves Lexus?"
No I don't think that, BUT I do think a huge amount of people won't shop for a Toyota at a Lexus Dealership anymore than they would shop for a Volkswagen at a Ferrari Dealer.
Another example is Palm Computing & Megahertz both compaies bought by USR and still retain their names.
Yes a Rose is a Rose is a Rose, but USR should become a division of 3Com...kinda like Buick, Pontiac, Oldsmobile, Chevrolet and Caddy!!
