Mani - RE: "Tenchusatsu Re << If I recall correctly, the name "Celeron" came from Lexicon Branding, Inc., the same company that came up with the widely popular "Pentium" brand name.>> That's a way to ruin a good reputation! Celeron just sounds real bad and I do not know why. May be it is more the case of reputation making the name bad, than vice versa." Yes, Celeron does sound like a lame name. Pretty weird considering the name comes from "celeres" and celerity, both of which sound more swift! ;) You would expect the name of something to be associated with the product, but retail sales stats have proven otherwise.
