Don't think the name of Arizona should strike a chord with anyone, no disrespect intended. I believe WZ chose to name to honor the U.S. Naval ship, but I can't speak for him.
But, not everyone reacts the same way to everything, and I'm sure you have your reasons for feeling the way you do, which I know doesn't suggest any disrespect intended, just makes you feel a bit uneasy, which is perfectly fine.
Just my two cents, and it may not seem very coherent because my mind isn't working right these days.
But, as for the programs needed, GAFY? was right. The best programs for doing registries are Paintshop Pro and Photoshop, but for Photoshop, I don't recommend anything lower than version 7, but if you can, get a copy of CS or CS2, as they can type along a path, just like Paintshop Pro.
