Re: pushpins

Thanks Goob!

I was thinking sorta the same thing but, as somebody
pointed out, Microsoft <em>also</em> uses one word.
So, they use push pin and pushpin both. And, as the
MMoSfTP ver. 3 (toilet paper????) is not yet out . .
.. Besides, I'd be able to keep my output smaller by
one hyphen per instance; think of the resulting
savings in download times of the HTML!!

(As you can tell, I'm leaning like the tower towards
one word. Am wondering about the trademark issue that
was brought up, though. If I observe this thing looks
like a pushpin and document it as such, I wonder if
somebody's trademark of the term "pushpin" for a
button with a pushpin on it would be applicable?)

Cheers,

Sean
