Well, it's a contradiction in terms - like "a deafening silence", "Military Intelligence", or even....."Microsoft Works" (sorry RM, but just to prove I can take it as well, how about "Novell Marketing"
)

Posted: 01 Jun 2004, 08:52I'd vote for it not being an oxymoron. But then I tend towards pedantry. I see no reason why the subject could not attain the state described without losing that which describes them thus.
Posted: 01 Jun 2004, 08:53or was the oxymoron "briliant slogan" and "a.net"?:)

don't know of many pilots flying one handed...
Posted: 02 Jun 2004, 01:00mcuth,
you better watch your next step! Many a family are very happy with their MS Works package. Very good value for money, and also satisfies most users needs.
I remember us looking at our Wish list from customers - over 85% of what they were asking for was already in the product.
Rule #1 - keep it simple....
And anyway, surely Frequent Virgin is a more appropiate oxymoron...
Thanks,
Richard

:DPosted: 02 Jun 2004, 14:36Richard, I thought about 'Frequent Virgin' but I'm not sure it qualifies, either you are a Virgin or you are not, are you not? (I don't mean you personally )
AlanA, naughty! (but nice) - have you ever met one?
