There's the change, which is not reflected on the domain yet. And there's the names themselves…
"Macintosh" has a history.
"BeOS" got its name from Jean-Louis Gassée opening a dictionary and blindly pointing his finger: "Be" it was. (The same method had already gifted mankind with the "Dada" movement. Great precedent!)
And the attempted revival "HaikuOS" got it name for the haiku error messages of NetPositive, BeOS' native browser.
But "ravyn"? "Airyx"? Where do these come from and what do they mean? Why the "y"s?
