Replace Redmond with Carthage (Carthago) and you'll probably find 
something that closely matches.

I don't have any grudge with Redmond (I've never been there) but the 
largest corporation HQ'd there should be destroyed and salt sown upon 
the ruins.  (And I've got probably a Meg or 3 of Microsoft stuff here, 
if you include Xenix-68k and Xenix-x86 with the BASIC ROMs and such in 
old Tandy kit).  (No MS DOS or 'doze in my basement).

You had to admire the way perfectly innocent words were mugged, ravaged,
stripped of all true meaning and decency, and then sent to walk the
gutter for Reacher Gilt, although "synergistically" had probably been a
whore from the start.                 -- Terry Pratchett, _Going Postal_
