Presario:

Presario is a series of desktop computers and notebooks from Compaq. The Presario family of computers was launched for the consumer marketplace in September 1993. Although HP has since acquired Compaq, the Presario name was not discontinued due to its marketability. In the mid-1980s, Compaq began manufacturing PC Monitors as part of the Presario brand. An all-in one unit—the CDS-520—containing both the PC and the monitor in the same case, was also released

Honda:
Honda Motor Co., Ltd. (本田技研工業株式会社, Honda Giken Kōgyō Kabushiki-gaisha?, Honda Technology Research Institute, Co., Ltd.) listen (help·info) (TYO: 7267 , NYSE: HMC), or simply called Honda, is a Japanese engine manufacturer and engineering corporation. The company is perhaps most notable for its automobiles and motorcycles, but it also produces a long list of other products: trucks, scooters, robots, jets and jet engines, ATVs, water craft, electrical generators, marine engines, lawn and garden equipment, and aeronautical and other mobile technologies. Honda's high-end line of cars are branded Acura in North America and China. More recently they have ventured into the world of mountain bikes, producing the very first bike to use an internal gear changing system in the Honda RN-01 G-cross.

With more than 14 million internal combustion engines built each year, Honda is the largest engine-maker in the world. In 2004, the company began to produce diesel motors, which were very quiet whilst not requiring particulate filters to pass pollution standards. It is arguable, however, that the foundation of Honda's success is the motorcycle division.

Honda is headquartered in Tokyo. Their shares trade on the Tokyo Stock Exchange and the New York Stock Exchange, as well as exchanges in Osaka, Nagoya, Sapporo, Kyoto, Fukuoka, London, Paris and Switzerland. American Honda Motor Co., is based in Torrance, California. Honda Canada Inc. is headquartered in the Scarborough district of Toronto, Ontario, and is building new corporate headquarters in Richmond Hill, Ontario, scheduled to relocate in 2008. Honda of Canada Manufacturing is based in Alliston, Ontario. Honda has also created many joint ventures around the world, such as Honda Siel Cars India Ltd , Dongfeng Honda Automobile Company in China and Honda Atlas Cars Pakistan

Answer 2

A) Hewlett Packard –
Stanford University classmates Bill Hewlett and Dave Packard founded HP in 1939. The company's first product, built in a Palo Alto garage, was an audio oscillator—an electronic test instrument used by sound engineers. One of HP's first customers was Walt Disney Studios, which purchased eight oscillators to develop and test an innovative sound system for the movie Fantasia.

1) Presario is not in the dictionary. Perhaps COMPAQ can answer this question. I could not find why COMPAQ uses it. It may have a meaning in a language other than English. It may be just a name thought up that sounded good for a machine that holds a bunch of data that has no meaning. LIKE BUY A PRESARIO and own a machine that holds a bunch of useles data.


2) SONY is a company established in Japan in 1946. The original name was “Totsuko Products”. In 1955 a Decision was made to use the SONY logo on Totsuko products.
The company changed its name to SONY Corporation in 1958. It is my understanding SONY is a short name easy to remember. The reason only it was chosen by the corporate officers. I believe TOTSUKO would not do well with name recognition in the U.S.

3) The history of Nokia goes back to 1865. That was when Fredrik Idestam built a wood pulp mill on the banks of the Tammerkoski rapids, in southern Finland. A few years later, he built a second mill by the Nokianvirta river – the place that gave Nokia its name.

4) In October 1946, Soichiro Honda established the Honda Technical Research Institute in Hamamatsu, Japan, to develop and produce small 2-cycle motorbike engines. Two years later, Honda Motor Company, Ltd. was born, and in 1959 Honda opened its first storefront in Los Angeles with six industrious employees.

Thanks for the intelligent question. You gave me about 45 minutes of research to do. I was surprised to find Nokia is a Finissh company.
