The last time I was in San Diego, that was ComputOredge.  It's a lousy name,
too.  Even the people at the rag think so.  It used to be called the
"Byte Buyer", which sounds better and gives a better idea of their
concentration on advertising, especially classifieds.  However, it
seems they were threatened by a lawsuit by a certain very large
publication and had to change the name....  I was very surprised to
learn that someone owns the word "byte".  I think I'll trademark the*
word "the*".  From now on, any person or organization who wants to use
the* word has to pay me a royalty or get sued.  This includes instances
of the* in words like "the*re", "othe*r", "the*m", etc.

I'll be watching.
