I can't wait until it sends email in addition to searching for it.


Is that a reference to [1] "Zawinski's Law of Software Envelopment"?

"Every program attempts to expand until it can read mail. Those programs which cannot so expand are replaced by ones which can."

Are there any corollaries to Zawinski's Law?

Because lately when I develop something, it always gains either IRC or RSS capabilities at some point.
