bilby commented on the word gussied-up
"Happily, help with that one is at hand, in the form of 'telepresence', a gussied-up form of video-conferencing marketed by Hewlett-Packard, Cisco and various other IT firms. Their devices aim to overcome the time lags, fuzzy pictures and other technical failings that afflicted the previous generation of the technology, and so hindered widespread adoption."
