blueberry?
Another question not related to guns. What is a "blueberry" in computer-speak? Is it something like a cookie or an aplet?

Are you sure you mean blueberry, and not blackberry?

I'm not sure; my sister clued me in about this mystical fruit thing and she is less computer-literate than me. I was hoping someone out there would know what one is or had heard about them.

One of the new MacIntosh PC's comes in a iridescent blue color, and is called a "blueberry". Could be what she is talking about.

I don't know if this blueberry thing is a piece of hardware, but I doubt it. I am inclined to think it's some kind of virus or something some pinhead with too much time on his hands and a bent for mischief dreamed up to frustrate computer goobers like me. No one seems to know what it is, so let's just drop it. If it's something bad, let's all hope we don't get one.

Guy's, could this be a new name for "Easter Eggs"?
You used to see them in some games, hit the right combo in the right order, to get a special scene and extra points.

I'm thinking it's something bad. A radio station wouldn't warn listeners who are also computer users about something good, would they?

Heard the commercial for myself today on the radio-- it's blackberry and is a hand-held thing like a Palm Pilot. Like I need one of those things... I must be the last guy in America who doesn't have a cellphone. Don't want one, either. If you have a cellphone, people can get in touch with you! That's the last thing I want.
