| The man who founded an operating system by calling it "Eat Plenty Of Carrots"* is having his birthday today. Yes, David Potter, founder and chairman of Psion is suddenly one day older. | ||

Your Sniffer found this out by devious means. "David," he asked, "when is your birthday?" Anybody want to wish him well? Comment to this, and we'll forward your message! *EPOC was Psion's OS for the Series 5 handheld computer - the ancestor of the realtime operating system which grew into Symbian. It doesn't, honestly, stand for Eat Plenty Of Carrots. We'll provide a small, yet valueless and probably tasteless gift for the most creative suggestion for what it really stood for, if anybody knows... You can chat to Sniffer here. Other comments? Feedback? Call me on +44 20 8809 0492 in the UK. |
