<<Microsoft agreed to refer to the devices as "Palm-size PCs" and to discontinue using the term "Palm PC.">> McDonald's agreed to refer to their new hamburgers as "Whopper-size Burgers" and Burger King was ecstatic!!! How can these Palm Computing-3Com lawyers be so stupid? Couldn't they think of a single English word that can help Microsoft out? How about 'Hand'? If Microsoft doesn't like Hand PC let them use Paw PC as I suggested earlier. How about '3-by-4 PC' if they truly want to accentuate the size of the device? These Microsoft guys are wicked and I am glad that more than 40% of my portfolio is MSFT.
