Then acquired the rights to "Hogan's Heros" Just think, when you browsed, and there were no Achtung devices, John Banner's voice saying "I know NOSSSSING!" It.would.have.been.BRILLIANT!!

However, I think we'll survive! I'm coming up on my 1st year anniv as a Mac user and wow... I'm stil so amazred by the zealots. I actually heard someone say the other day that he wouldn't use an app because it had an ugly icon. He was ready to admit the app was useful and had many great features, but the icon was keeping him away. Der. Yes, I prefer 'Rendezvous' over 'Bonjour' too. However, I think we'll survive!

That's what I think. Rendezvous was fine. Sure it was hard to spell the first few times, but hey, it got some people to learn to spell better. Renaming a product is just ignorant anyway. They could have called it "Hey Over Here!" Or "No Pain Networking". it would have been fine if that were it's original name. I just don't see any need for changing it. Ignorant. That's what I think.

Why don't they just call it Zero Conf, like it is in the rest of the universe. And it only sounds cool if you're not French. There's a great product name 'Hello'. What the heck!??!

Rendezvous at least had a Z in it. On that note, they should've called it ZeroConf. Or, go all OS 8-y about it and go with OpenTalk. No. I hate it. Rendezvous at least had a Z in it.
