Can you ping me now?

That has got to be a trademark violation... careful with that.

[mresell]

Yeah, that has been there. I thought it was a joke. Sounds silly.

It's been Vortech's slogan for as long as I can remember .. why mention it now, you only just notice it?

What part of that is a trademark violation? Maybe vortech has it trademarked...

Seems Verizon's registered tag line is "We never stop working for you"

Just because they used the line "Can you hear me now?" in a commercial does not a trademark or servicemark make

Go Vortech. Stick it to the man!! :love:

The question is what came first, the chicken or the egg?

[TheDesigners]

The question came first...

Yea we have used that for a long time, but it's kind of funny how it came about. Nothing to do with Verizon at all.

But about 3+ years a go a tech was on the phone after and outage working on a router and kept saying "Can you ping us now" talking to verio ( our provider at the time time ), we switched it up a bit to be "can you ping us now" for the slogen and kind of became an office joke then our little saying.

I've always thought that eveloutionally speaking, the correct answer has to be "Egg!" Something not quite what we would call a chicken, laid the egg of something we would just barely call a chicken.
People who know me are sick of my theories, and I appreciate you giving me a new place to say this.

No question about it, the Chicken came first.

[bsdrocks]

Darwin wouldn't like the chicken answer

[Light Speed]

Honey Mustard dipping sauce came first.

If it wasn't quite a chicken, then maybe it wasn't quite an egg?
