Hmm.. Well, when I was younger, I bought the Star Trek Technical Manual
for the U.S.S. Enterprise, NCC1701D. I named a lot of my technology on
that, I always liked the more technical names, as in Warp Matter/
Antimatter engine Core rather than engine. I also got a lot from various
SF novels, movies, etc. It depends on the person, I guess. I for one
like more technical terms, it is just another part of the imagination
thing.

P.S. I also had corporations making the various technological items,
such as Biotech Industries, Inc., S.S. Inc. (Scott Sanburn) Not too far
from my real business, Sanburn Systems Company. :)

Quote of the Month: (In Slate)
Al Gore: "Even though national security policy didn't come up, I
suggested that one critical issue for voters to ponder is this:
Whose FINGER do you want on the CONTROL-ALT-DELETE button?"
These are the same people who sued MICROSOFT, folks. If he is that
ignorant about computers, he should not be anywhere near controlling
anything, much less the United States.
