cool name Athlon, is that because you use that CPU? i use an athlon, but an old one

I recall, the word “Athlon” is loosely translated as “challenger” or to “contest”.  Think of Tri'athlon' sporting category. (Any Greek speakers here?) .

From http://www.wired.com/news/print/0,1294,21173,00.html
"The name Athlon is also a Greek root in the word decathlon meaning contest and is meant to denote strength, power, and speed."
