Why aren't we calling SCO names?

  As a mild side note on the SCO lawsuit, I'm surprised that nobody seems to
have started calling SCO funny names the way folks do MicroShaft... My
girlfriend is a principle software engineer who has been in the business for
over 20 years. One of her first jobs involved doing development on SCO boxes,
and she said they were commonly reffered to back then as "Spoiled Child
Operations" - In light of the current events, the name seems due for a
revival...

Yeah. Why haven't we heard of "$CO" yet? (I personally think "M$" is lame, but it seems to be a popular designator.)

Actually, given their love for intellectual property, I propose "SCOtm", to be pronounced as two syllables.
