Houdini and the Buzz effect....

Earlier today I got a great E-Mail from Barry Klein. I met Barry at “High-TECC”, an independent insurance agency conference in Vail. Barry and I had a wonderful time talking and as fate would have it, I demoed ActiveWords for him.

Barry just wrote me a E-Mail which once again demostrated what smart people do when they have ActiveWords and imagination:

“We have almost 40 computers, most of which are servers. Being an amateur magician, each has a magician's name, such as Houdini, Copperfield, Siegfried, Roy, etc.

We REFER to them by their names, but we need to USE the actual I.P. (Internet Protocol) address, such as 123.456.789.012. Since we know the names by heart, we simply type Houdini with two spaces (or the F8 key) and it replaces it with the right I.P. address.

It's magic. We call it the Buzz effect.”

You have got to love it.

p.s. Barry also invited me to the world-famous Magic Castle, sounds like a road trip!
