Interesting, that makes me remember the Ford/Mazda comparison somebody |
| 9 |
mentioned in this thread: while the Mazda engine is probably the most |
| 10 |
important part of the system (the "kernel"), the complete car (the |
| 11 |
system as a whole) is named Ford and not Mazda. ;-) But it would be |
| 12 |
wrong and weird IMHO to not mention the engine in our car... |
