Is that what your folks said to you when you were excited about something?

Yes, it works on the VII.

what about bandwith?

Hey, isn't bandwith a problem here? Last time I looked, costs per bits was high. Why would one want to store applications in some account somewhere?

cool service, cooler name!

"The name is Black, Tron Black."

who wouldn't want to work for a CEO named "Tron"? ;)

This has been available for over a year

Typically ridiculous announcement.

SkipWire simply copies a free product available from PalmGear (actually produced by PalmGear) since November of 1999.

I anticipate that SkipWire will soon receive venture capital, burn through it, announce a B2B business strategy, then abruptly quit claiming "The market just wasn't ready for us yet, but we gave it a Hell of a run"....or was that Thin Air Apps;-)
