I have a story of a failed mozzling attempt: You know those PCMCIA cards & slots? (PCMCIA, of course, stands for "People Can't Memorize Computer Industry Acronyms") I tried to get folks to call them "Pac-Man" slots & cards, as a tribute to the little guy, but nobody else liked the idea, apparently. Actually, it seems that the idea of PCMCIA cards & slots themselves don't seem to be all that popular anymore either.

I also want to call .PNG files "Pong" files, in the obvious allusion, but that doesn't seem to be catching on either.
