You know the story of where the name U.S. Robotics came from, no?

As for Woz and Hawking not appealing to young women, well.......

Remember the survey Scrapps posted a while back about the "average Si member"? Something like 95% men and the overwhelming majority had the fastest modem available.

For this reason, I think USRX needs to keep using names like a "Sportster". Maybe some other good macho motorcycle or cars names.

A "manly man" likes HORSEPOWER!!!! Maybe call it a HEMI or a Barracuda<G>

Even the "Geezers" want SPEED!!! VARrrroooom!!!
