LOL. Which reminds me of the question "Why is Linux like an American Indian teepee?" Answer, no gates and no windows.

Up to now I have never had one, so I have been feeling somewhat neglected. Today I had my first one, and I blew it. I was feeling a bit more grumpy than usual so I just got cross, said 'don't talk such rubbish' and hung up. What a missed opportunity. Anyway, just to let people know that they are still out there. My daughter, of course, uses Linux. When she said that she didn't use Windows the caller got all confused. Apparently he said 'but everyone uses Windows'. Sad. NeilThe response to everyone using windows, is to say of course they do having great big holes in the wall causes damp and draughts Paul
Next time I get one of these calls I plan to say that I don't use Windows or Apple. When they ask what I do use I will say "have you ever heard of Solaris?" That will really confuse them.
