[Ipg-smz] Need a term for future commonplace tech for a short story

[Christine Hall]

Quigley. Because at the start of the 22nd century, Quigley Intragalatic 
is the leader in such technology and its name has become synonymous with 
the device (much like Google).

However, the hero is using hardware in which the software has been 
replaced with an open source alternative that the IT guy says is 
superior, but she's having all sorts of problems getting it to work right.
