I believe the explanation went something like this:
Apparently there is a (humourous) German expression related to the
numerical figure 08/16. Eight being half of 16, it suggests that
whatever it is, is "not bad"/average (I'm guessing that this would be
like the "glass half full" euphamism more common to English speakers).
Namlook started Fax by making the first release PK08/16 - hence "not bad".
If I haven't got my facts straight on this one, I'm sure someone will
correct me. ;)
