little things: bluemail
I found out that when my mom went to italy, she used bluemail to check her mail--she thought it was great. MY MOM USED BLUEMAIL! How fun is that? My mother thought it was a real program, too--she didn't pick up on the fact that a) it's missing a lot of functionality, and b) it was written by me!
So she's like "oh, and I used Bluemail--it was great!" And I said, "yeah, I implemented forwarding and reply-all a few months ago and no one's really touch it since then." And then she goes, "what? you wrote that? wow...."
YES!
