The term I heard for that, when it was popular during the 80s, was
"intercapping".  Some companies that used to have intercapped names have
dropped that feature.  MicroSoft, for example.  I still tend to use
intercapped names for variables when I'm programming.  In programming
books I've seen it referred to as "camel notation", presumably because
the name has a "hump" in the middle.

resp:63 - I'm not sure if that Internet auction site does call 
itself "eBay".  Other people call it that, but its own logo is all 
small letters: "ebay".

  Recently krj was kind enough to send me some iTunes codes that he'd 
  won in Pepsi's iTunes give-away promotion.  Although I've owned an
  iPod for almost two years, redeeming the codes was my first experience
  with purchasing music from an on-line download service.

  All of the descriptions I've heard seem to say that Apple's iTunes
  Music Store has the best interface out there and among the biggest
  selections.  Neither was awful but if this is really the best service
  that's available so far the industry still has a long way to go. 
  The user experience, in particular, could stand some really obvious 
  improvements (e.g. -- when you're listening to a preview sound clip
  it shouldn't stop abruptly if you continue browsing.)

  When Ken gave me his iTunes codes I thought "Cool, but this is going
  to wind up costing me at least 10 bucks in extra stuff I find and
  want to download," but in the end it was a bit of a struggle to find
  8 tunes I was eager to download.  I was also a bit put out by the
  intimidating service agreement and the sign-up process, though I
  eventually figured out how to use the free downloads without having
  to provide Apple with my credit card number.

  All in all it was an enlightening experience and I used the opportunity
  to download a bunch of singles off of albums I don't care to invest in.
  For that, if for no other purpose, it's nice to have iTunes and similar
  services, though I was thwarted by the unavailability of several
  selections before I found enough to fill my order.

  In the end, though it was more work to find them than I thought it
  would be, I wound up with a group of songs I'm pretty sure I'll
  enjoy (I'm listening to one of them right now (Jackson Browne's 
  original version of "These Days", which I've been wanting to hear
  ever since I discovered the Golden Palominos' lovely cover version.)
  Thanks, Ken!
