I got an HP brochure in the snail mail today, the

into Sunday newspapers... I flipped through it and noticed in the PocketPC
section that the sample screen image showed the standard "today" listing...
The list said "Owner: Peter Gibbons" and the task item was "Review TPS
reports."
Gotta love nerd humor. It was a fairly tiny font, so I wonder how many
people will notice the joke.
I don't get it.
You got Google, don't you? Don't tell me that I have to give you the google
link, eh? Shhheeeeeeeshhhh!!! ;-)

OK, there's a race car driver named Peter Gibbons, there's a character off
of the movie "Office Space" (which I never saw, movie trailers looked
*mucho lame* to me), and a teacher in the Department of Computer Sciences
at the Univerisity of Auckland in New Zealand.
I'm guessing it's the 3rd guy, as he's almost marginally ontopic. Tho how
HP got ahold of his iPaq is anyone's guess!

[[ Note to all: I didn't get it either; still don't; and not that worried
if I ever do... I just thought this would be a good opportunity to pick on
Sellam WRT him picking on others asking questions before googling... ;-) ]]
