"What the hell is a Fulla?
A very funny name. Hey, be thankful, we could have called it the Dingleberry."
HAHAHAHAHAhahahahahaha
This just HAS to be first in advertising and marketing.
I figure they're going for one of those advertising and marketing industry awards.
As in, a little crossover never hurt anybody…
Genius, I say GENIUS!

Early prototypes were actually called "Dingleberry," and "Dingle Dongle, it's a DAC" was screened on the first prototype PCBs. I'll take some photos for the upcoming story.
We actually had a fairly big internal, ahem, "discussion" about what to call it. Rina wanted to call it the Dingleberry, full stop. Mike loved the name, too. It was me, the boring/safe marketing wonk, who said, "You know, I think this might be going a little too far..."
But I'm getting too far into the story. More to come.
And, as far as the humor goes, it's a great filter. People who take themselves too seriously (and who are therefore tedious/time-consuming/insufferable) typically don't buy our stuff. This further reduces our needs for psychoanalysts and support scripts that start with "We really value your business, you are the most important person in the world, we love you and will do anything for you, including hand-polish your boots and pick up your laundry," and end with "your estimated hold time is 70 minutes."
