Lynn, RE: McData name origins

I can't pull up a link, but I read that a secretary tagged the company McData while they were deciding on a name and...you guess it...the temporary name stuck.

My husband was involved in advertising for years and you would be surprised how many times something like this happens. I don't think the name was an ego trip, fwiw.
