When I was in elementary school, we did lots of things in the computer lab on our Apple Macintoshes. Whenever we could create a new file on them, the file would always be named "Ulited (pronounced YOU-lit-ed)." I thought that there was a giant software company called Ulited out there that made all the programs we used on the computer, and so, whenever we made a new file, the file would be named Ulited in their honor. Although all the files seemed to be credited to different companies, I knew in the end they were all owned by Ulited Corp, who quietly put their mark on all these products by inserting their name into the default file names.
I think I was 11 or 12 before I finally realized that the filename said "Untitled."
