[DanceMentor]

Here is an amazing story about how someone figured out they were being scammed, and scammed the scammer. Because this story is so popular, I am listing several mirrors:

The bluetooth mouse is priceless - reminds me of the 24 foot sailboat in some catalog ages ago.

In other topics, there's a girl on our team named Ann who was also interested in making dance costumes. I thought maybe we should set up a business partnership, but the trademark lawyers would be all over us.

I know a lady who led the research team for Bluetooth technology. Somehow, I don't remember her mentioning any mouse. Hmm. Maybe I'll call her and ask. :lol: :lol:

Really? Did you ever ask her why they picked such an odd name? Then again, I sort of wonder why Microsoft picked the name "Longhorn"...but now Apple seems to be hung up on giant cats...:roll: ;)

Who knows? At the time, every new technology had some weird name the marketing people made up. *shrug*
