I'm impressed by that completely nonsensical device naming scheme.

I had to look it up because I thought that line might have been line noise.

I know some manufacturers and tech people have "issues" with naming,
but I thought it was mainly just DRAM chip manufacturers that used the
output from /dev/urandom to generate names.

Ass a few special characters, and it would make for an excellent password.

What can I say, there is no accounting for taste.

To be fair, I've seen quite a few panels/LCDs with long, seemingly
meaningless model numbers.  Many times they have information encoded
within them.  Hopefully they mean something to someone anyway!

Yes, indeed. :)
