- BlackBox 2.0 (BrancoBox)

It seems that most people around are over 50 or close to it.
I just turned 53.

I think BrancoBox is not a good idea, even it seems a good one but,
BB can be confused with BlackBox or BrancoBox or even Brigitte Bardot.
I can cope with BlackBox and Brigitte Bardot because they are very far apart.
But BrancoBox and BlackBox are too close together.

I think a new name needs to be found.

Regards,

Federico

I believe Marco has suggested the solution himself: change the name to
BrancoBox to distinguish his variant clearly from the OMS mainline.

As far as age is concerned, clearly anybody 50 years or older is into
their 2nd childhood, and hardly worthy of serious consideration.
However, I reserve the right to change my opinion about this, since it
is my 50th birthday tomorrow.
