"Quickster" was also an absolutely terrible name. Orders of magnitude worse than "Netflix" which communicates perfectly what that company does.

  Netflix was not originally an internet streaming company, that came later. I'm not sure I could call Netflix a "perfect communication of what the company does", given the name came around when the internet was only used to select your next mail-received movie.

    From what I've read his goal was always to start a streaming movie company. He just did the DVDs by mail thing while he waited for technology to catch up.

      Really? Truly fascinating that he had that foresight, then.
