****************** It may be that the "program" after Transcendental Meditation is necessary for the following reason: "Use your trademark as a proper adjective that describes your product. You'll notice that ads refer to a Xerox copier, Jell-O gelatin and Band-Aid adhesive strips. If people continue to use the words Xerox, Jell-O and Band-Aid alone, these marks can easily go the way of other trademarks like nylon, mimeograph and yo-yo." http://www.quicken.com/cms/viewers/article/small_business/40191 ------------------------ Yahoo!
