Subject: Recall: Ref Number: 0459510A
Ceil-Rosenberg would like to recall the message, "Ref Number: 0459510A".
Notice that nothing is said to refute the MS XP Logo requirements. One would thing that I had stated that every piece of paper, pen/pencil, notebook (paper type), eraser, desk and chair had to carry the MS Logo. Interpretation: "You'll be happy to know that we will still sell stuff without the brand of shame, just not HW/SW."
Then "Oops, better not say that. Not cleared by MS!"
