This may be a little off topic but before my last visit to Don's I was settled with i-TTL but some of the more interesting features we have photographed require manual in some degree or other. The last two shoots I have done totally by manual flash, its was not difficult at all and I felt more in control of the lighting.
My vote for a name for Don is
Flash Gordon, think of the theme to the 1980 film by Queen..."Flash arhah - saved every one of us"
