They also need to come up with some unique name such as "gadgets". Mind you,
Microsoft have invented the concept of mail stomping (or stamping out). One
day when you stomp on your mail you will look back at them days and be

Microsoft: for better, more pragmatic society.
I noticed the fact that any junk which comes from Microsoft grabs the
headlines, again and again. Most latterly it was the ultramobile PC (AKA
Origami), which is utter junk. Nokia have boasted something better for
nearly a year, but they can't generate the same media hype.
Best wishes,
