I must admit, Pink Squeak doesn't sound like anything to be targeted for
serious use. Not only does it sound more whimsical, it sounds... dumb.
Not that it doesn't have it's signifigance, and I mean no disrespect.  But
if someone has no clue what Blue, Pink, Chartruse planes are, it's going
to sound dumb.  Getting the reference relies on acedemic-ish knowledge,
not the practicle business logicland knowhow.

Heh.  I like PipSqueak, but don't know how useful that one would be
either. :)
