Computeraudiophile name change

[esldude]

I hate the name too.  Thought I might get used to it.  So far I haven't.  So whatever the reasons I'd vote to change it back.  

 

Words are weird.  I happen to have a mag wheel.  Why are custom car wheels called mag wheels?  Because all the early ones were made with magnesium.  So rather than say magnesium wheels it got shortened to mag wheels.  People forgot or never knew why.  So then you have aluminum alloy mag wheels. 

 

My mag wheel is actually magnesium however.  

 

I just hate the style thing.  Stylish.  I'd have preferred modern audiophile, or modern sounds or digital audiophiles or most things other than xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx-style.  Widgets for digits.  Music things.  Networked sound.  Bits of sound.  Sound bits.  Maybe I'd balk at Kibbles and bits with style. Streams of sound.  Sounds of the aethernet.  Musical appliances for audiophiles.  Master Quality Audio-style.

So “computer” in the name gets sneered at in some circles. 

 

That was more true when CA started than now. So why change now?

Maybe this is better something like a gold color.   Either that or why not have it flash rapidly between this and red.  That way it would be even more noticeable as an eyesore. 

 

Of course when it was CA having the unfilled CA was a nice touch at the end.  So maybe it needs a name change too.

If you guys all lived in MN, you could be outside on your deck, BBQing dinner, enjoying the beautiful sunny 68 degrees and low humidity, and arguing about audio wouldn't seem so important...

I was comfortably BBQing at a friend's house on the holiday.  Mid-afternoon, humidity only in the high 60% range, and slightly below 95 degrees thankfully (Real Feel was only 101).  Didn't need to use much Off for the skeeters as the smoker was keeping them away.  No one was arguing about anything.  As long as the beer was cold it was easy to make it thru.  I was BBQing in style I suppose (though it never occurred to me).
