http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omega
Omega (capital: Ω, lowercase: ω; Greek Ωμέγα) is the 24th and last letter of the Greek alphabet. In the Greek numeric system, it has a value of 800. The word literally means "great O" (ō mega, mega meaning 'great'), as opposed to omicron, which means "little O" (o mikron, micron meaning "little").[1] This name is Byzantine; in Classical Greek, the letter was called ō (ὦ), whereas the omicron was called ou (οὖ).[2] The form of the uppercase letter derives from that of an omicron (Ο) broken up at the side (Greek Omega 09.svg), with the edges subsequently turned outwards (Greek Omega 05.svg, Greek Omega 03.svg, Greek Omega 07.svg).[3] The modern lowercase shape goes back to the uncial form Greek uncial Omega.svg, a form that developed during the 3rd century BC in ancient handwriting on papyrus, from a flattened-out form of the letter (Greek Omega 08.svg) that had its edges curved even further upwards.[4]

You are toying with the ban hammer. It is not a toy. I just felt people needed to know the definition of the word Omega and why it is a poor choice for a company name  Sort of like Microsoft? Had that company been started by an Arfcommer, it would have been Macrohard. |
