    Come on, Apache Software Foundation is clearly named after an attack helicopter, and AINU after one of countless immortal spirits in the Middle Earth universe who helped create the world with her beautiful music.

      The attack helicopter is named after... Hint: other helicopters were named Kiowa, Cheyenne, Blackhawk, Sioux, Mojave, Iroquois.

  Just realized that the Amiga line lasted 19 years, from 1985 to 1994. UAE was released in 1995, so it's over 30 years old.
