You might answer, "Dr.Pepper please". It seems that a coke in Texas is equivalent to pop or soda in other places. Like weedeater is generic for all string trimmers. I propose we all just gimpshop images from now on. P.S. PDF's are the scourge of the internet, so Adobe can bite my gimpshopped as*.

Adobe may be trying to stave off the same problem. I seem to recall that Xerox ended up having problems enfprcing their trademark, since their name had become a generic term for photocopier.

The trouble is, when Fark.com suggest you photoshop an image - I'm going to do it using Paint Shop Pro! Google get really antzy when you use there brand as a verb so I expect Adobe will get keen on this. It must be a kind of brand virility symbol! Notice I used Photoshop without capitalising it there. I can hear their lawyers walking up the path now... The worst people to upset are the Biro people. If a journo refers to "a biro" meaning some crappy ballpoint pen then they are likely to receive a lawyer's letter explaining that the word "Biro" should be capitalised and refer only to the superior Biro pen as invited by Mr Biro and made exclusively by the BIC company. I must go - I'm going to hoover the carpet and have a Pepsi coke. Mmm. The trouble is, when Fark.com suggest you photoshop an image - I’m going to do it using Paint Shop Pro!
