It was never Firebird - that's a database product - but indeed it was Phoenix.

Thanks for the correction. It was renamed away because of the database product, at least.

I messed up the time line a little: they were phoenix from 02-03 and firebird from 03-04. I thought firebird was longer lived than that.
