But... but... it's super fast!

Actually, the one I have always liked is the splash screen for Windows 2000... I think it says "built on NT technology". That would be "built on New Technology technology", although that is more marketing drivel (http://www.winsupersite.com/reviews/winserver2k3_gold1.asp) than anything else.

That's probably not a bad point... it is about branding, after all. It is pretty funny how marketing-speak, when given some thought, can sound rather absurd.

FedEx is getting dumber every day. They phoned us at home from Atlanta at 4:42 a.m. because they didn't realize that Los Angeles was on the west coast. I'm sorry, shipping in North America = TIME ZONES. OMG
