In days gone by, the Amiga engineers called the motherboards by the titles of songs by the B52s. They were abstract to any who didn't know those songs. I got to thinking, if the Amiga line continued into today, what would be some cool names for the boards?

This was my list from my rather chaotic mind:

FISHEGGS
FORCEFSCK
COUNTERPEAS
POOMESS
DOGRAGE
HYPHENUSER
PROUDMUM

What have you guys got?

This is only true of the console based Amiga models. The A2000/3000(T)/4000(T) did not use code names silkscreened onto the boards. George Robbins (the lead engineer for the A500/A600/A1200) was a B-52's fan.
