Our name
Our name was inspired by the 1995 cult classic movie, Hackers. One scene mentions the phrase "Luscious Orange" in a passing reference to the US Department of Defense TCSEC. Intrigued, Mike purchased the lusciousorange.com domain in 2001, just in case. It was the beginning of our brand. Here's the clip from the movie, directed by Iain Softley.
