Let me be the first to call the new Mac Pro 8 Core - The Ocho!

Has a nice ring to it doesn't it?

ESPN 8 has that trademarked already.

If you don't mind asking about this… what do they find so funny about 'The Ocho' branding?. I don't get it. -spaniard here-

Should you be naming products we don't even have?

Espn2 used to be referred to as "the deuce."

If you aren't familiar with the movie Dodgeball, they parody that by making "Espn 8, The Ocho"

Like Dakar though, I find saying "The Ocho" to be quite amusing for reasons I can't explain.

No, definitely only name them after they've already been named, and only in the most serious manner, in a thread of the most serious business.

Yes, that was the reason I did ask, Dodgeball spanish audiotrack refered to it as 'el ocho' then if you switch to the english audio track you also get 'the ocho', I was wondering what Americans find funny about it… so it was a joke about ESPN. Thanks for the input.

I'm sorry this just seems like a stupid thread. Unless I'm missing something.

I haven't been taking nothing! Living for 16 years with my father is what does it. I can rent him to you, but it'll be a stiff fee.
