There I don't agree. I think people have the name in the back of their head.
And remember that tech daddies will buy tech gifts for their sons (and

just recently...

Amen... I wonder why I seldom sell any CDs from my record store anymore. I
only have the "living in the past-bastards" browsing the site...
