Fool! You could have picked my name: " ICE PAC " and you would have
made MILLIONS! Now you have to wallow in thousands...tisk tisk.

Never mind !

When I read the other announcement, I caught the reference to "Mike And
Dave's" PAC.

I guess that's better than DAM PAC ("Dave and Mike's" ).

:-P

I kinda started to go towards to acronyms myself (I think I was the
first one to use them) Because there where too many nursery rhymes
comming out and it needed to encompass the entire system as a whole.

This was another reason I really tried to put out a few suggestions
that *didn't* include "Pac" in the name. That and I reconsidered
copywrite infringement on "Pac" as well (Have not yet looked at the
copywrites on the name "Pac" but you may want to.

There just seem to be so many other games included on this one *other*
then pacman. So I tried to put a few things out there that encompassed
the system as a whole.

Thus I don't necessarily think my suggestions should have been picked
when I say this, but I do think you needed to research the copywrites
better and try and focus on the system as a whole.

I appreciate the opportunity to compete and would like to congratulate
the winner. I myself never win anything. Unless you count that Scream 3
t-shirt I won at the movie premier YEARS ago.. ehich incidently I lost
3 days later before I even got to wear it =(

Thanks though. I hope the kit will be within my budget. I would like
to sample it myself.

There were several others that we liked such as: Jam Pac, Back Pac,
Endless Pac and even Ice Pac but it would have been impossible to use
them in a search engine if someone was looking for info.

Mad Pac is search-able and easy to remember. Even the 96 in 1 can be
tough to search depending on how it's written, we didn't want to repeat
that with the new kit.
