CueCat Patent Granted, Finally 184
RobertB-DC writes "Who could forget the :CueCat, the amazing device that would bring 'convergence' between the real world and the online marketing Utopia of the late '90s? Belo, the Dallas-based newspaper and TV conglomerate, spent millions of dollars on the project, only to be ridiculed from the start and eventually becoming a sort of poster kitty for the Dot-Com Bust. Well, the device's inventor and chief cheerleader, J. Jovan Philyaw, didn't forget. His patent application, in progress since 1998, has finally been granted. The story comes from a Dallas alternative weekly, since the local Belo paper is still smarting from its $40-million-dollar black eye."

Azureus puts itself in the tray in windows. I'm sure they need some win32 API to do that, but they must have a way to detecting what OS the java app is runnning under and then make the appropriate calls Anyway, my point is that there is already a java open source project that uses the windows system tray without breaking portability, so it can be done.

After being a POP3 guy for 8 years I've jumped ship for MAPI.
That's kinda like: after being a Unix guy for eight years, I bought a motorcycle. POP3 and MAPI are not related in the manner you suggest.
I originally thought you mean "IMAP"... But in the next sentence, you mention how you're betraying IMAP4 by using... MAPI..
