[Elecraft] Need another name for K2OOL -/ K2 Dump and Save

Fri Mar 28 12:36:01 2003

Folks,

Thanks for all your comments. Lots of people seem to like K2OOLS, but it
doesn't just, well, feel right.

I even solicited my family on a name for this and got:

From my Partner - "Why don't you do something useful, like repairing the
garage door, and don't forget it's Mothers Day this Sunday."
From my 6-year old - "Barbie"
From my 14 month old daughter - "Bok Bok Splish Splash" (that means time for
bottle and bath in our house)

Well, I thought BokBok was a great name for something, but unfortunately had
no "K2" in it. In desperation I  also mulled over Bok2Bok and Bak2Bak, but,
well, they seemed a bit over-pretentious.

Still in desperation I wondered about "Kato"  - the pugnacious valet out of
the Pink Panther movies.

In the end, I'm inclined towards  "K2Z" because......its. easy to type. 8-)

Tony
