Phoenix and Minotaur Get New Names

Posted by timothy on from the but-not-new-icons dept.

blazerw11 writes "Phoenix and Minotaur have been officially renamed to Firebird for the browser and Thunderbird for the mail client. Interestingly, they're both named after cars I often see in my neighbors' lawns. At least these cars were pretty fast before they were put up on cinder blocks. Personally, I like the names and the browser is great. I'm writing this with one of the last Phoenix Nightlies."

    For me its the Gremling or nothing. Now that was one hot car (especially when it exploded). Course, I really don't know why you would ever name a car model Gremling (even if it was appropriate).

    Now, excuse me as I get modded off-topic.

    Sure he did. That, and to save us from our sins, but who's sparing the details?

    Sure you can. Just gotta whip out one of your spare accounts to post with after you moderate :)
