Well, what do you think? I think it's a fairly decent name, although I don't own a Mac myself right now. Sometime in the near future I hope to get a new one, because of the Unix tie-in, I think it'd be fun to play with. However, though you or I may not have one, those who do typically very love their machines (almost to an unhealthy degree! lol - can you say "cult following" boys and girls ?).

*ahem* Anyway... (sorry - the amphetemines are making me babble)

I think it's a decent name, but I'm asking you...what do YOU think?

Thanks, in advance, for your time and response! I appreciate it!

- Steve

I can't believe NO ONE wants to comment on this one? Hmm. Oh, well.

Point taken, but what about the www.windowsmag.com's and www.windrivers.com's and www.winsite.com's and www.andersenwindows.com's of the world? Think about it, geeze. Anderen Windows (as in glass) has nothing to do with Microsoft. Windows Magazine has NOTHING to do with Microsoft Corp. Yet, those sites have a lot of value. Hmmm.

Oh, and there's www.macweb.com, www.macintoshcomputers.com, www.macresource.com, www.everythingmac.com, www.ultimatemac.com, www.macintoshos.com -- is my point made yet? All of these websites have been online for quite awhile.

Why are you all so shy of a good name when it's based on an existing product or service of another company? Apple hasn't exactly bullied these websites -- they HELP the Mac world.

Yes, this name has value, whether you all can see that or not.
