I certainly hope Cube finds another use for that... Mickey Mouse watch!! Maybe you could do a countdown to July 31, and use a word of the day calendar. Keep looking for single digits here. Nothing to see. SHORT WITH IMPUNITY!! That'll teach me!! The technology is the key...if you understand it. Enjoy the ride!!

HAHAHAHAHA!!!!! Now that I know the pimply-faced, teenage monkey-boy at the local 7-Eleven can order more Slurpee cups from corporate via ZixMail without communist guerillas intercepting the email, I can sleep better at night. As a matter of fact, I had boycotted 7-Eleven for years because I was worried about this exact issue. Now that the email system of 7-Eleven is secure, mankind is better off. ZIXI deserves a market cap of at least $100 billion. Since there was no mention of money exchanging hands, I bet this was a barter deal between Cook and 7-Eleven. And Cook, being the sly businessman he is, probably got the better of 7-Eleven. My bet is that he got at least two 44-oz Slurpees out of this deal, and possibly as many as five, with a twinkie thrown in at the last minute during hot and heavy negotiations. Why is Cook a sly fox? Because even if he "only" got two Slurpees in exchange, it's two more Slurpees than 10,000 licenses (or whatever number) of ZixMail is worth. Some day we are going to tell our kids and grandkids about ZIXI, right after we tell them the tale of the Piltdown Man. This PR was just too damn funny and I was laughing out loud and had to wipe the spit off of my monitor.
