..although it was the Pilot pen company that sued U.S. Robotics over the 
use of the word "Pilot" in their "Palm Pilot" product - leading the 
eventual droppage of the "Pilot" part of the name and now they're just 
called "Palms".  Weird.  It is difficult for me to see how anyone could 
get the two products confused!
