Thank you, M. le Pingouin.

It would have been nice if they had put the accent in MATÉ .

Took me a while to learn how to set up a "compose" key in Mint.

The Wikipedia entry mentions that "maté" is Spanish for "I killed", probably not the image they're wanting to convey!

It's better than Whineders & OS-ex anyway

They now have Ice Cream Sandwich, etc, etc. I'm waiting for the Op Sys named Hemlock Tea.
