What is maximum advantage?

Hello all,
It occurred to me a great proportion of the readers may be puzzled by my "Maximum Advantage" call sign. Well the story starts in 2003 when I was in 3rd year. I was doing a subject involving VHDL programming (describing FPGA configuration using code (which is a little like C)). Traditionally I have found that most of the software design tools we use in engineering are horribly designed, crash all the time or deliberately attempt to corrupt your data (or some happy mixture of the previous three negative points).
Back to this subject. We started off using a product known as Max Plus. This was a really simple program - basically you just write your code, compile it and transfer it to the chip. Easy and it usually actually worked! Incredible.
The second tool we were using was FPGA Advantage. We had some major problems with this program (but for legal and defamatory reasons I will not go into them).
There were 2 group assignments for this project and although it was suggested that FPGA Advantage was used Max Plus was still allowed. As one of the primary coders I made the decision to use Max Plus on the basis of reliability. Then the team name was born - we would use max plus to get the "Maximum Advantage". This was a real classic name. For some reason people are now reluctant in letting me come up with group names for projects - odd, I couldn't think why?
