heh, I read this earlier today. what a waste of time/money. £250!!! I'm with Blueyonder, but I think I'll give this a miss.
Scent fabrication is an interesting goal... No doubt it has some uses in the future... but everything seems to be like this, predetermined scents. They need to come up with something that can make *any* scent, based on a code. It would be quite interesting... Of course, it would still need to be refilled...
I wonder why this only works on broadband? i mean, the activation code in the email should be a tiny thing... emails themselves are usually limited in size... so why broadband? Not that many people on dialup would probably shell out cash for such a novelty...

Smell-a-vision anyone?
Please don't let this take off....
I would hate to see smelling e-mails be standard... someone could send you a horrible smelling e-mail...

I saw it as a positive development. A great way to sell food and perfume.
Just a way to bring more reality to our Mac's
Ah, just make sure to only open smelling e-mails when you know the sender!
Smellers Be Ware!
Powerbook G5 -- Whats so bad about AOL?
I use AOL, I mean besides the spam... but thats fine since I haven't got one windows virus in my e-mail box yet.
Could be an interesting idea...
Let's say someone sends me an email about Orange Glo. What I'd do is send the email to myself 50 times and clean my monitor.

That's what I meant, the spam...which is why I commented on being able to finally smell the spam in the air with AOL.
