and interesting,,,,notice how MC says “it was a pleasure to FIND its name”…..not it was a pleasure to NAME it or coin the name….but to FIND ITS NAME, as if his work, his team, was to FIND the name that was inside the machine all the time and what they had to do was use their intution and creativity to FIND the name inside the device and they found it and told the world, it’s a KINDLE……interesting, neh?
