The name Orinoco makes me think of the 802.11b wireless LAN adapters of the same name. One of the few that worked in Linux.

I'm with you on this one. I think I still have that pcmcia card somewhere.

Really? It makes me think of the hunting of the snark, because my brain makes it's own style of random wikipedia link wandering.

Makes me think of Enya's Orinoco Flow...Sail Away, Sail Away, Sail Away!

The Wombles were some sort of rodents who lived in garbage is that right?

Not sure about rodents, but furry and pointy nosed, and one of them was named Orinoco (they were all named after places or similar). They did not live in garbage, they collected and reused what humans threw away.
