In college in NZ I wrote a simple compiler for the 6802 with some friends, it fit in 2k (just) .... we called ourselves "uSoft" (with a greek mu - but we were cross-compiling from cards, no room for a mu) .... the next year we heard of some jokers in the US who were using our name, and pffft! they only had a basic interpreter, so lame!
Needless to say the jokers in the US became multi-billionaires, we were stuck on the other side of the world with no one to sell to, and no real knowledge of the marketing we'd need to bring our code to market - if only we'd incorporated we could at least have sold the name :-)
