What does IRIS stand for?

Interesting thread?

I was curious as to what IRIS meant too. Guess we will never know? Somehow, this thread makes me feel a little disappointed.

Still, Iris does make nice aircraft. I wish them many, many successful years.

Well I'm bored so I thought I'd take a look at the IRIS forums for the answer. Needs registration so what the heck. Either I'm too thick to be considered a viable life form or the confimation code is designed by a maniac who's sole function is to keep people off the forums:isadizzy:
Needless to say I ran out of tries:pop4:

Hmm,

I hadn't been on the IRIS forums in years, so my registration had been deleted for inactivity. Simply reregistered with my old name and password, and my original email. Recived my authorization in my next email download. Went right in, no problems.:kilroy:

According to DB's message, Iris doesn't stand for anything.

Hmmm.... That's not going to stop me from believing the IRIS, the name of the Greek Goddess of Love, was picked as the name of the company because of Karen Love. :engel016:

Aphrodite was the Greek goddess of love. Iris was the messenger of Hera.

Correct. I forgot some of my greek mythology. Some of the references I used on the internet were not accurate.

The Wind-Footed Messenger of the Gods

The messenger of Zeus and goddess of the Rainbow. Iris is the daughter of Thaumas and Elektra (Electra) and the wife of Zephyrus (West Wind). She flys from place to place as the faithful voice of Zeus. Her words were never doubted and her presence commands respect amongst Immortals and mortals alike. Her sisters are the winged-women known as the Harpies. When the Argonauts were trying to chase the Harpies away from the blind seer, Phineus, Zeus sent Iris to warn the aggressive sailors not to harm the Harpies. <CITE>(Argonautika, book 2, lines 288+)</CITE> <CITE>(Theogony, line 265-270)</CITE>
She plays an essential role in The Iliad as the messenger of Zeus. She is also loyal to other Immortals, such as Aphrodite (goddess of Love). When Aphrodite was wounded at Troy, Iris helped her into Ares’s war chariot and drove the injured goddess to Mount Olympos (Olympus) to be treated for her wounds.
Her name means ‘rainbow’, thus implying that her presence is a sign of Hope.

Anyways, there goes my theory... :pop4:

Forgive me

IRIS stands for, Insanity rules in Sweden.

And if you'll stand for that you'll stand for anything. Surpristee nahbowlers, and a merry Christmas.

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!

Hey Pam, if I understand this right, :icon_lol:

The great products you guys have put out in 2009 are because I used to openly offer my negative opinions of some older IRIS products? I've offered nothing but compliments for recent releases. Maybe I've got the wrong strategy. Maybe I should start bashing them, and see what you guys come up with next. :salute:
