*sigh*

Another name change. From Phoenix to Firebird to Firefox. I hope this is
the last one.

So what if the name changes? It doesn't stop the app being used. What's
the big deal?

I can't speak for anyone else, but I had a problem with Firebird, and went
looking into the files, and finally found them under Phoenix, which I had
never heard of.

Then too, after a couple of years of telling people how great Firebird was,
now I have to let them know that it isn't Firebird any more, it's something
else.

It's never a good idea from a marketing standpoint to change the name of a
perfectly good product. It usually only happens if there's some black mark
against the current name.

The reason is that there exists another open source application with that
name: Firebird SQL Server.
