Talk:Azerty

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I removed the following accumulation from the page. If anyone thinks this is notable, it could be used in an article about the company. (Though preferably edited significantly for brevity.)

• Azerty - a subsidiary of the Fortune 500 company United Stationers. Azerty was founded in April of 1983 as a wholly owned subsidiary of Inter City Papers Limited of Montreal, Quebec, Canada, which in turn was a wholly owned subsidiary of Abitibi-Price Limited of Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Azerty was originally called Qwerty, but quickly changed its name to Azerty after a software developer in New Hampshire, USA went to court to halt the the use of the name of Qwerty as the name of the company. Marvin Lee Frackt, the person who started Qwerty then Azerty, was sitting in his home in Dollard-des-Ormeaux, Quebec, Canada faced with the challenge of coming up with a different name for the company and as he was thumbing through some collateral information issued by AES Data Limited formerly of Ville Saint Laurent, Quebec, Canada, noticed the Azerty keyboard by AES Data Limited being sold in France. He then brought that idea to the table and Azerty was adopted as the name of the company.

• One of the most notable quotations from Marvin Lee Frackt is "you will have to sell to people who wear corduroy shoes."

Anyone writing such an article should explain what the company is and why the material above is relevant. Elphion (talk) 10:01, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
