If so, then I wonder if "cold fusion" will be a replacement for "it's 
not rocket science" (as the term is used by all those who are not rocket 
scientists) and "it's not brain surgery" (as the term is used by all 
those who are not neuroseurgeons).

i.e.,

"Dude, you should get a Dell... it's not cold fusion!"

(insert image of that guy who got fired after he got caught being a stoner)

BTW, when I worked for a company that sold NextStep software, the 
SPAWARSYSCEN guys were always pleasant to talk to and were pretty smart 
as well.
