RE: Did we have another name change?

["Haase, Justin C." <justin.haase@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Following this logic, we'd better fire off some e-mail in ELM, drive our
Model T to lunch and power-down our XT when we leave the office.  Don't
forget to say "hi" to the secretary too.

Terms change - (Outlook/Notes, current car models, Pentium M,
administrative assistant).  In the words of REO Speedwagon, we gotta
roll with the changes.

Those who don't change will simply be left behind - that's all there is
to it.

    I certainly plead "guilty" to (1), but I laugh openly at the
generalization you proceed to at (2).  I am not "afraid" of new
technology, but only weary of wasting resources on learning your
constantly-changing aliases.
