This time, for email... Yes - email From BBC News comes this story: bq. UK net provider Telewest Broadband is testing a system to let people to send aromatic e-mails over the internet. bq. It has developed a kind of hi-tech air freshener that plugs into a PC and sprays a smell linked to the message. bq. Telewest say it could be used by supermarkets to tempt people with the smell of fresh bread or by holiday companies seeking to stir up images of sun-kissed beaches. They go on to show the a picture of the machine and mention that it will cost around 250 GBP (close to $500 USD) Yikes... All this just to get scented SPAM...
