We were having a discussion on how brand or product names become the
names of an entire product line, like 'walkman' (Sony product name for a
portable cassette tape player), or 'kleenex' (USA/UK) or 'Tempo'
(Germany) for a paper tissue, or 'Coke' for anything like coke,
sometimes even other soda.
Would be cool, if the Newton would have managed to be the synonym for
PDAs ...
Regards,
Chris
