Oh, well. Looks interesting anyway :-D
- fortyseven 6y agoWish they'd picked another name. As a Commodore fan, this trips me up every time.
- myself248 6y agoSeriously. Like if you're gonna reuse a normal word, that's one thing, of course a product named Windows is gonna run into issues. But when you pick a unique word that only exists as another product.... why, just, why?
- simonw 6y agoBecause I grew up using a Commodore 64 and wrote my first database program using C64 BASIC. I mistakenly thought it would be a unique name that would make it easy for me to track mentions. Turns out there are still a LOT of C64 fans out there actively talking about their tape drives!
- dmix 6y agoDon't worry your product is datasette.io and on Github as a python project. Humans are smart enough to figure out the difference. I think its a great name for the project, even with the legacy usage. It's not like it's super popular primary brands like Macintosh or something Atari.
