One Click Archive uses the structure already present in the user's mailbox to move between current and archived mail within the interface of the regular mailbox, Avalon said in a release. All of this can be achieved with one mouse click, instead of the long arduous processes offered by other products. http://www.avabiz.com/ COMMONTIME COMES CLEAN WITH MNOTES | CommonTime CommonTime released mNotes 3.0 for Pocket PCs running Windows Mobile 2003.

A man in California has won his battle for the name bimbo.biz. Who wanted to take it from him? A huge Bimbo that bakes. Food firm Bimbo SA wanted the domain to stay in Spain, where the company is based. It already owns bimbo.com, bimbo.es and bimbogames.net, and it went to the U.N.'s copyright enforcement arm to take "dot-biz." But big Bimbo's bid for bimbo.biz was a bust. The California man gets to keep the name, as long as he doesn't sell competing baked goods on the site.
