Only to add to the confusion, the Sprint telco side is rebranding to Embark.
Sprint PCS - red triangle
Sprint/Nextel - yellow feather
Embark - blue "death star", ala AT&T?
That outta cover all the primary colors.

It relates to cellular communications. Your Walmart posts didn't.

A few years ago I frequented a DSL news group. This know-it-all Navas
character was there with the exact same attitude, and same problems with
other posters.
Time doesn't change some things.

Alas, it's changing this thing: Navas is clearly getting worse as time
goes by. You just haven't seen him hit a new low yet. He will. Trust me.

You guys are too young to remember that John Navas used to post useful
information on modems ("http://modemfaq.home.att.net/"), while it was
his brother Jim exhibited the behavior that John exhibits these days.
Just as there now is a John Navas collection (see
"http://tinyurl.com/moern"), there was a Jim Navas collection as well
(see "http://tinyurl.com/mbytf").
I just wish that Navas would at least stop his off-topic posts. No one
expects him to post factual information, but at least he could post his
incorrect information in the proper newsgroup.

Actually, it's been spun off, and is officially no longer part of Sprint.

Actually, a yellow "pin drop"

That is so funny! The GREEN Ebarq motiff. I didn't know about the
change till last week and coincidently I had changed all my biz websites
to a similar green motif a a few weeks ago. It was pure coincidence!
I went with the green because:
1) More in line with my farm/ranch/rodeo website.
2) Carhartt workwear doesn't carry a particular style of jacket I really
liked in dark blue anymore, only dark green. Ok, that was a weak reason.

An excellent demonstration of his *research skills*, but no
original thinking.
Kind of like a movie reviewer - knows his movies, but never
directed one.
