    Hi guys, I'm looking for ideas for a fake company name. Something instead of ACME or Widget as I'm bored of these. The name must have a touch of professional humour. Any ideas?

      Maybe follow the lead of Infocom, with Froboz Computing, Cybernetic Core Computing, or something like that? :rolleyes: John

          I registered the domain "ScottsFineSoftware.com" as kind of a joke, then the name started sticking. You could do something similar. Scott
