Fair enough ;-) I didn't get the "shell" pun until you pointed it out. I 
just immediately associated it with something slow. I would have thought 
it would be possible to find a name that is humorous but without this 
slow association....

Very good point. I just thought if people are using Windows anyway they 
may not be so against these associations but it completely lacks humor.

I think that's great - it's humorous too and a bee is something that has 
a "busy" and "social" association as opposed to the "slow" association 
of a snail or tortoise ;-)
