Default Has anyone ever noticed...

That the iPaq is about 1 3mm line in its name, away from spelling the country we (the US) are about to invade? It's kind of strange to look at...

I guess that why Compaq/HP will void the warranty if you open it up... they don't want inspections! :lol:

Nah, let's leave the flaming out, please. Steve's ready to hit the lock button anytime.

Interesting observation, Hyperluminal, but - how about companies like "Tadiran"? Does it have a tad to do with Iran? :razz:

Hmmm.... thought you insinuating that "Tadiran" was sounding somewhat like "Taliban."

I wonder how many NSA and other government agency Web scanners just red-flagged this page.

haha, yes, my friends at work whom are not well versed in the pocket pc always tell me to magic marker an extra line below the "P" cuz they want it to be an "iRAQ"... I haven't done it and won't, but it is pretty funny. Maybe some have even shipped with that extra line "accidentally" put on there :wink: I'd hate to have that one... ha.
