How the crap is it offensive? As part Navajo, I am actually honored somebody would name something based on Navajo history.
:thumbsup:

actually with all the overlyPC crap about removing Indian names from college sport's teams i have heard that no Native Americans are actually complaining about 99% of them which don't show them in a negative light to begin with.

Most of the Native Americans want the names to stay because they get royalties from the use of the names.

exactly, title means something to me, and im not Navajo, dont think its offensive at all.
 
The only thing that made me mad was the screwed up logo the Cleveland Indians used...they decided to use the most demented, screwed up Native American imagery they could and it was ridiculous. Naming software after a historic tribe based on the softwares abilities= a unique, smart name and a tribute.
