Simmerin'
Hello,
I have been thinking about <b>Simmerin' </b> as a new name for Phoenix. Why? Because Phoenix is a hot, desired product. Excitement for it is ... just bubbling over (!)
It does not seem to have an American trademark attached to it - except for two dead trademarks for beef and chicken products. Note: I have not researched trademarks belonging to other countries for this term.
Regarding domains: simmerin.org, simmerin.net, simmerin.com are all available.
What do all of you think?
Regards,
- Jay

Went to their web site and there is no mention of a BIOS-or-whatever browser.
Is there more info somewhere about why they can force this name change?

We need to rename Phoenix. The kind folks over at phoenix.com have complained about trademark infringement. Anyone have thoughts on a cool, meaningful new name?

<b>Ion</b>
is an open source Window Manager.
<b>Photon</b>
is the GUI for the QNX RTOS
<b>Voyager</b>
is the web browser for the QNX RTOS
<b>Phoenix</b>
is already used, sorry.
<b>Firebird</b>
is the name of a SQL database I think(from reading here)
Now I know this post is completely pointless because most likely, 2 replies down will be someone with ADD posting "I think they should keep name Phoenix" or "How about Firebird, that sounds l33t" etc etc ad nauseum...

How about Mink? It's fast, little and nimble creature. Just like Phoenix.
