Some of us just groan and move on, like a bad joke.
But, let's turn the tables and look at some names of proprietary
software....
"Microsoft Visual Studio". This is a software package for producing
home movies.
"Lotus 123". It looks like a pre-school educational program.
Something to do with counting.
oh... but "Lotus" is a car! It must be a game, something to do with
auto racing.
And then there is "Outlook". Is that a fortune telling program?
But, the real reason I came here is that I was looking for a program
to manage recipes, that would help me spice-up my lousy cooking.
"Spice" is a program for the kitchen, isn't it????
(sorry .... I couldn't resist.)
