A name for this OS

Uh, not quite the image you'd want to invoke, but cute.

Uh huh, we stopped selling Lisp, and starting selling CLOS.
I agree with that change.
That didn't really make any difference, so we're now working
up Dynamic Objects as the next magic bullet to sell Lisp.
I agree with that name change too.

I believe names ARE important in the marketplace.
They're just not the most important thing.
Just changing the name doesn't change the product
or how it works or who will use it,
as some marketing types might want to believe.
