Reminds me of when Microshaft came out with their "Bob" operating
system ... heh heh heh. That is the latest scam here in the US -- if
you can't make a decent product, sue anybody who uses the name
in normal conversation or some such nonsense. Every now and then
I flip the TV to one of the "shopping channels" just for the entertainment
value. Funny watching those sales people (how do they keep a straight
face ??) ... "and this has 256 megabytes of RAM -- I have never seen
that much before, it is just incredible ... " and they go on and on being
absolutely "amazed" by a low end system. Oh well.
