raymond... a piece of digital trivia for you: accom.com [ see corporate background...] Few people know how our company name was derived. The secret? One of our founders is an admirer of William of Occam, a 13th century philosopher and theologian famous for his rule known as "Occam's Razor": that is, a plurality of reasons should not be posited without necessity. In other words, the simplest answer is the best answer -- a dictum Accom has employed to great advantage. Taking creative liberty, we switched the letters "A" and "O", and added an accent because it looked nice. The correct pronunciation is "a'-kom" (the first syllable rhymes with "may"). flick
