Is anyone else familiar with Acme Made and their products? I just ordered the iCover
for a 12" PB, 12" iBook and 14" iBook and debating on if i should get the Slim Cargo and a cover for my 23" ACD. It looks nice and of good quality but until it gets here thats really not based on anything but wishful thinking. |

What a creative name for their company. I have an idea, I'm going to make a car and call it the Yugo.
PS, as far as I know, the products from this particular ACME are of fine quality. You had me at asl ....... |

They are (fine quality). I've two friends that have the Designer Slim for their powerbooks. Very sexy.

The name didn't come from Road Runner cartoons. Indeed, I'm sure it was quite the opposite, e.g. that the creators of the cartoons saw how many companies out there used the name Acme, so they took that and ran with it for their own 'mail order catalog' brand. |

Right. I think the ACME of Road Runner fame was an acronym for 'A Company Making Everything' (or something very close to that).
[edit]: Well there's a Wiki for everything now, isn't there? Apparently it's "A Company that Makes Everything". Close enough. So it goes. |

I didn't say it's from Road Runner, I said the name is not very creative. I don't think there's any denying that.

Acme has uncertain roots one of which is "A Company Making Everything" but it could also be seen as coming from the greek work Akme which means top or pinnacle
