    How about the Mayflower cause it is strong enough to carry Phil Pilgirm (the Pilgrims wore black and white).

    Plus you can carve a Turkey on it - that was for my pal erco!

    Ok! Lots of great possibilities here!

    Many other really bad impossibilities here too...

    I'm going to compile the names this evening and then we'll submit them to our Omnipotent Marketing Department for evaluation, consternation, and infatuation.

    You've all been great, thanks for coming!

    (Realistically, it may be a day or two before I can post the winner because one of our Key Marketeers is out tomorrow).

    Stay tuned!

    Me neither Bomber ;-)

    Marketing is really busy right now, but I hope that we'll have a decision buy late Wed, or first thing Thursday morning -

    That being said, I've already picked out my favorites, and it will be tough to choose - especially with some of your "reasonings" behind why you'all chose the name(s).

    On the other hand, many suggestions, are definitely Not in the running ;-)

    Hey, check it out...
    It appears that Five Stars gets you mild sarcasm, as evidenced by:
    "2k & 3k posts... Amateurs.".

    But at VIP Status...
    Why must we wait so long?
    ...looks like you become a full-fledged whiner.

    Whit / erco - Advise you slow down on your posting rate!

    VIP status does have its perks! Besides, Ken designated me the "Chief of Crankiness", a reputation which, despite the obvious sacrifice involved, I feel compelled by duty to maintain.

    Oh lord, I haven't heard this much crying since Luke & Laura got divorced.

    All joking aside I like ROVER the best (not my submit).

    Naming competitors - can't use the name PropBot. That's reserved for the Boe-Bot's successor when we have finalized the PropBOE and Parallax MicroC language set, in the future.

    Plus, this hardware can be run by anything.
