I used both Firefox and Opera - I won't risk OE unless I have to. One of the links at the bottom of the page is a paper about companies with 3 letter names. IBM, EDS, and NCR aren't successful because of their three-letter names. Starting a company, get a name that people can remember. I also prefer banks with names like Key Bank and Compass rather than 1st National Bank. Make your name stand out. I once worked for a company called OAO. It seems that it's long gone first contract was for the Orbiting Astronomical Observatory. Now it's name was a meaningless TLA. International Business Machines was a well-known successful company which could afford to shorten its name. Now it doesn't want to be associated with only machines, but at one time prospective customers wanted to know what it sold. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
