When did Sony stop naming things the simple way (Walkman, Vaio...) and started naming stuff like that (WF-100MX3 and the like). Im saying this as half joke only :D

They've always named things this way. It was once cool to have stuff like "WF-100MX3" because it reflected the kitsch of the space age.

This is the company that made ‘Walkman’ and ‘PlayStation’. They sometimes use terrific names.

VAIO name/logo was genius, when I learned the VA form a wave represeting the analogical world and IO part is the digital world, I was like ...wow!
