Sometimes IT companies fail to step back and take an objective view of the chosen name for their whizzo new products.

Worse still, but far more entertaining, are products with impenetrable strings of characters in their names which unfortunately bear a close resemblance to rude words.

Many thanks then to reader George Coburn for pointing us at this product on the A-Trend site. ®
