Yup. Just like VMS... :-) In article <14020060@hpisod2.HP.COM> decot@hpisod2.HP.COM (Dave Decot) writes: dd> I object to this use of an HP trademark (NewWave) for something unrelated dd> to our product and for a situation this disgusting. [So, why didn't you reference the article which you quoted? I believe that they are in the "friendly messages" subject. <435@laic.UUCP> had no mention of The New Wave or NewWave (tm).] I certainly hope you are saying this with mock sincerity. I would not be at all surprised if the original poster had never even heard of "NewWave". Secondly, "The New Wave" is not an infringement on "NewWave". Finally, if the two things are as disparate as you assert, then why care at all? Geesh. -- tale@rpitsmts.bitnet, tale%mts@rpitsgw.rpi.edu, tale@pawl.rpi.edu
