I inherited the name "Smart" but for as much as my colleagues have been smarted out of their pants while hanging around me all the time, I think I'm going to call Compaq and find out more about this TaskSmart stuff.

We flew to SF last Wednesday night on a late flight. My CIO/CTO partner was stuck sitting between this Ph.D. Design and Mareketing professor from Univ. of Miami who emigated from Algeria. This guy loved to talk more than me and my partner wanted to strangle me once we got of the plane.

One the trip home we were seated in the exit row with lots of leg room. He was warned about the cold drafty window seat. In the middle was this tall blond woman, an attorney from SF who was originally from Chicago. My partner warned her of me prior to me reaching my seat.

We did end up talking and at some point I exchanged my business card. This woman about fell through her seat. She had the SAME last name.

It was off to the races from there. These "smarts" are a different breed. I don't know where the gene comes from, but we are all quite non-traditional, creative, wackey and er, smart......

My colleague couldn't escape. By the middle of the trip I don't know which was worse, the cold draft or "us" talking.

Now, pehaps we can sell this TaskSmart C-Series product......

Hmmmmm.

GO!!
