If you run www.degen.com.cn through babelfish.altavista.com, the
translation of the name Degen uses in Chinese is "German Vigor."


Babel is wrong.

The Chinese word for German is "deguo".

Degen can be roughly translated as:

De = Very good, good performance or quality.
Gen = Vigor

Or in English, Degen "marketing" roughly translates into something like
Quality performance and strength.
As in many translations the meaning can be lost in translation.

Doesn't sound like a good basis for making 'Degenerate' desirable, but if
you say so...

I would put forth the 'Dang' trademark.

Then one can say... I've got a Dang 1103...

And someone else could respond... That's cool, but my Dang 1107 is better.

And so it goes.

You're right again, dxAce! the Dang 1107 is a lot better. These DXers at the
recent DangFest are the experts, and they agree, too:
