- * Simple example to use a Mempool object together with a Queue

  * Thread1 generates transition between random RGB colors and sends
  * messages to Thread2. Thread2 displays the requested color on the
  * built in RGB LED.

- * Data items for messages are stored in a MemoryPool object.
- * Thread1 allocates MemoryPool slots, Thread2 should free up
+ * Data items for messages are stored in a Mail object.
+ * Thread1 allocates mailbox slots, Thread2 should free up
