Article-I.D.: ihtpa.113 Posted: Tue Jun 22 16:13:05 1982 Received: Sun Jun 27 05:07:24 1982 The recent announcement of the creation of "American Bell" got us thinking that it could have changed from XYZ, Inc. to ABC (C = Corporation). Then we wondered how Xerox got its name. Is it an acronym, a name of a mythical beast or what?
