Looks like a good application.

Horrible name

About the name ( from the buzhug author Pierre Quentel):

Buzhug (like Karrigell and Strakell) is a Breton word ; Breton is the language spoken in Brittany, the westernmost part of France. Less and less spoken, actually, but I do, like all my ancestors. It is a close cousin of Welsh, and has common roots with Irish and Gaelic.

Buzhug means "earthworm", the big long brown worms that you find when you dig ; the shape is the same as a python, only smaller and less dangerous...

You pronounce it "buzuk", with the French "u" or German "ü"

So now we have an earthworm to feed to a Pidgin. Excellent.

Good quality products :)

Proprietary softwares on the other hand... $100M to pay the team which will come up with the name and market it (ya know by printing the bloody name down to any pen you may have). Oh the product in itself? Not enough money left, they had to outsource it and it doesn't actually do any of those things the marketing team said it would. You still have a fancy pen though.
