Why not continue the growing trend of breaking the age-old TLA
monikers and come up with a *real* name, something that everyone's
mother can spell and (gasp) even relate to. Those of you involved
in marketing should especially appreciate this approach.
How about something like "PrintWire"? Or maybe something totally
abstract and unrelated (yet easy to pronounce, spell and recognize),
such as "Fred". (Yeah, a joke, but consider "Lotus" for a second...)
Just a thought.
