**BigT** ’s idea doesn’t seem completely implausible to me. Someone with a trust fund can afford to have a silly name. Someone working a daily wage could actually lose substantial (to her) income due to having a silly name.

But listen, I’m the guy who thinks Pilot Inspektor, and especially Apple, are _fine_ names.

Especially Apple. I can not see why anyone would find anything wrong with that. It’s great.

I bet the Apple haters are secretly in the pay of the Citrus industry!

Or maybe Microsoft, hard to tell.
