Apple already have 150,000 pre-orders for the new iLamp^H^H^H^HMac.

I just realised that the ^H^H^H^H thing must be totally incomprehensible to most people. You see, on a lot of Unix terminals, ctrl-H is the same as backspace. This caused some problems in some programs (such as the "talk" installed on our University servers), because you'd hit backspace and instead of seeing some nice deletions, you'd just get a line of ^H^H^H^H across the screen.

A more web-friendly headline would have been: Apple already have 150,000 pre-orders for the new iLampMac.

(In emacs, ^H means "help", which was also very annoying. When telnetting in from home I had to either remap my keyboard, or learn to never use backspace in emacs.)
