I always get a kick out of companies changing their company names to some new "buzz name", as if it's going to make things easier for those who work for the company, or double their annual profits.       Neither of which is going to happen, and it didn't, but it does make their suppliers happy when they have to throw out all the present stocks of stationery, envelopes, and business cards with the "old" company logo, and buy new stuff.    They call that progress.    Ya, right !     Then they went bankrupt and out of business.
