named after the virtual dolphin from the movie Johnny Mnemonic
The dolphin was named Jones not Flipper. And Jones was also a part of the short story that predated the film adaptation by several years. Check out "Burning Chrome," William Gibson's collection of short stories, for this and others. Well worth the read.
