No more
trademark lawyers. Sorry Marty, couldn't resist. My point was that I
was pleased that I was starting to see dotINFO used outside of the industry,
not that no one was using it.

Toshiba has a released software upgrade the
e740. Being a self-avowed Toy Sucker, I had a strong need to upgrade.
Without going into the gory details, I bricked my PDA - I think. I don't
know if this is a by-product of getting old or not, but my distaste for
technology is getting pretty extreme. I mean, using it is as fun as it ever
was, but making it work is getting stale. Whether it be tinke
ring with Radio or upgrading my handheld, this just isn't fun anymore.
Why aren't human interface designers and software architects jumping all
over this? Doesn't ease-of use sell? Microsoft and Apple seem to be getting
their collective acts together as it relates to desktop computing, but the
second that a user strays from the familiar confines of a desktop PC, that's
where all bets are off. Even doing something as simple as setting up a Palm
V to hotsync with an XP machine via USB turned out to be a major hassle for
me not so long ago. Agh. And now, to top it all off, I've got another brick to
lug around. At least they both look cool and one actually works.

....interesting. This link to the Washington Post live interview with Esther came with a pop-up add pushing Verisign's dotBIZ offering. It wasn't too long ago that their marketing department was in denial over the three letter version of "the Internet place for business"...
