Kinda cute, I'll admit.

Maybe we should wait a little bit and see if this whole "e" thing
really catches on.  It wasn't that long ago that the whole world
was ga-ga over the letter "i" (as in "Internet").  There are a
lot of companies and products that quickly named themselves
iThis and iThat which now look kind of silly.  The whims of the
marketing world change with little notice these days.
