Buck,

Secretary of CEO (Mc Something or other) came up with the name as an interim measure while they brainstormed for a really "Tech" name. "It" never arrived.

Not a greybeard, read it somewhere recently.

Regards,

John

Buck, the founder and still CEO of McData is Jack McDonnell.
Maybe he should sue McDonald's for using his Mc. EMC bought them in '93 for $250 Million in stock. If McDonnell kept all the stock he got in that transaction he could go ahead and buy Mcdonald's and solve the problem.
