@rootwyrm It seems strange. I suppose they could have paid to use it, but why pay money for a worn-out brandname, when it's easier to just think up a new one?

@CubeThoughts Yuck! That doesn't sound very good

@woody

@the_turtle I think they've just used the same name.

@woody We haven't tried it out yet, we just found out about the French gov't's plans today.
One of us tried out a conference platform called BlueJeans, which came out at the same time as Zoom and had vastly better sound, but it did not survive as far as she knows.

@woody It's rather a shame that it's not suitable for webinars, just smaller meetings.

@AlisonW I remember that software too; could it just be the same name?
