OK - I confess that, at first, I thought this was a send-up, so I<br>
checked their website. I've read it thoroughly and I'm still none the<br>
wiser. If it IS for real, though, Ananda Agarawala and co appear to be <br>
post-doctoral graduates of the Microsoft Academy of Vapourware since not<br>
even their FAQ has been written yet. {Well, of course, you can't answer<br>
the frequently asked questions if nobody has had a chance to ask any <br>
questions at all, such as, for example, "Are you guys for real or
what?"}<br>
<br>
That said, though, I rather like the idea. Have you checked out the<br>
parody site? The link is on the "BumpTop" website. <br>
<br>
Hmmmmmm<br>
