Well, we were thinking of names and the Dot-Com domain had to be available...

Went through a bunch of names and I *think*  I came up with it and Robin agreed.

I also came up with the name "Outback"  (while at Trace Engineering) but didn't know it at the time.

And the inverter model names, FX and MX.   

I love coming up with names and advertisement ideas, etc.

Well, that too of course.  I mention that to people when they laugh at the name.

Also was probably working at night.   But that would have been moonlight solar ?
