And yet, it doesn't.

I really can't put it into plainer English. I was there. We made it up. The attractive thing about it was that it had no meaning...we could make it mean whatever we wanted.

That, and it reminded the focus groups of television or Italian sports cars. That was definitely a good start.

I've heard the i/o stuff before...trust me, we weren't looking to be that clever or geeky.

Cheers,
Pony
