    Whoa. I mean, I knew about the memory issues, and stuff, but I never thought it would escalate into a full-scale brouhaha. Maybe I should return my palm.

    I don't want to get any of that, you know, brouhaha on me.

    So...um...what's a brouhaha?

      I knew this was going to happen.

      Somebody was going to come along and ruin the joke by telling everyone what a brouhaha was.

      Fine.

      brouhaha (noun) - a large, rather hairy, south American snake known for it's prized tusks. Because of their value, and inability to breed in captivity, they have been hunted nearly to extinction, and are therefore considered unlucky.

    Who wants to bet that a "Dilbert" probably pointed out the problems with the new memory architecture, but was over-ruled by a PHB with no clue?

    Wow. Now *that* is a company that wants your business. Litigious corporations apt to sue their customers to silence them in a similar situation, take note:

    This is how you're supposed to do business!

    Kudos to Palmone.
