Avoid using "terribly."  It's a negative word, and made the whole slogan
feel negative.  The only time you'd use "terribly" in a "good" context
is when you are trying to say something is _too_ good.  (i.e., "the food
was terribly delicious," which implies that it's in some way bad that
it's so good; perhaps you'll get addicted and overeat.)

"Terribly Smart" brings to mind things like Microsoft's "SmartTags."  Or
the Governator^WTerminator.  ;-)
