Mike *I can't believe Intel is actually calling them Intel (R) Core (TM) Duo processors ( http://www.intel.com/products/processor/coreduo/ ). And, why isn't that (TM) after the word Duo? I'm pretty sure that the word Core is *not* owned by Intel. They can have the phrase "Core Duo" (short for "Core Dubious", I think--or, perhaps, "Core Du-over" because they need a mulligan after dropping the ball on NetBust), but there's no way I'm recognizing any trademark they may claim to have on the word Core... Besides, I thought it was Microsoft that took industry-recognized generic terms for technologies and trademarked them (i.e. Windows), and Intel just tries (and fails) to trademark numbers ("586") and letters ("i"). _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
