> Note from a friend:
>
> The classically-minded among us may have noted a new TV ad for
> Microsoft's Internet Explorer e-mail program which uses
> the musical theme of the "Confutatis Maledictis" from Mozart's
> Requiem.
>
> "Where do you want to go today?" is the cheery line on the screen.
> Meanwhile, the chorus sings "Confutatis maledictis, flammis acribus
> addictis," This translates to "The damned and accursed are
> convicted to the flames of hell."
>
> Good to know that Microsoft has done its research.
