Slightly addicted to posting blog questions


Dont use google for this one. I work at HP Labs, so while digging up some company history, I found that in the 1960s, HP spun off a small company called Dynac, which specialized in producing digital equipment, and was later absorbed back by HP itself. The name Dynac would probably have stood for "Dynamics" or "Dynamic Electronics" or something of that sort, but what was the other MAJOR reason why this name was chosen?

Well, the answer is that when you turn the "hp" logo upside down, you get "dy" for Dynac. Anand Shankar, Joshan and Phanindra (on buzz) get this right.

No lesser mortal, how it works is : if Anand had posted the answer without the encoding, then when you clicked on "comment" to answer it, you'd see his answer (which is what we don't want). So you need to encode while posting the answer. After a few days, I'll post the correct answer along with the names of those who got it right. To encode/decode, go to rot13.com
