I'm sure that Bill Gates won't mind. Just do a "find/replace" and it will be all good.

well my boss seemed to know what was going on (he was on the phone with the guy and i thought he was saying the initials wrong).
i didn't make an agreement or anything - i was just really excited for the deal and had spent the past few days wrapping my head around what the heck i needed to do to facilitate it.
easy come easy go?

except the letters at least sounded the same...
and here i couldn't figure out why my boss wasn't jumping with excitement...
the funny thing is - i know exactly where the muckup happened. he thought i was talking about something different when i told him about the billion dollar co.
why can't companies have names anymore?
like "Hayes, Wench & Pff" for example.

Yeah, but you get a better deal on "slightly used" computers from Microsof.

Always check and double check everything that goes out. The double check includes having someone else look at it. Never send anythign out your boss hasn't approved and if you make a big mistake like that, tell someone right away.
