“Mirai” simply means “future” in Japanese. It’s also a reasonably pretty word, with the virtue of not being made up by some focus group. I assume their marketing team doesn’t pay much attention to the tech press - computer literacy in Japan is surprisingly low. > since the Nova? whats was wrong with that as a name, it was a popular car In Spanish, “no va” means “doesn’t go”. There are a *lot* of Spanish speakers in the Nova’s target market. - Jonathan Morton _______________________________________________ Cerowrt-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.bufferbloat.net/listinfo/cerowrt-devel
