Jim, I believe "Thumper" is the name of the rabbit in the Disney movie "Bambi." Cary

<<(It might help if you've owned a rabbit as a kid. They thump the ground with their hind legs when they sense danger).>> Jim, I think I understand how those technicians on the left coast thought up the name. First, who would think to name a piece of technology after a women ie; Bambi, thumper... Wait, that's it! Remember the James Bond movie with Bambi & Thumper- the two women he fought with and eventually almost drowned? That's where the name came from. what is the name of that movie. Maybe that's where the idea for the whole project came from! Look for the new Bambi NC prototype coming soon! Thumper is, after all, a SECRET project, so we may never know. However, The connection is clear enough for me :) - Dave
