Well, it does at least have some passing aquaintance with that
whole "locking" thing.

What's to fight? I got some funny looks when I became the first
sysprog where I work to ask for a Mac, but now maybe half the group
is seriously thinking about making the move too.

OK, so OpenLDAP may be difficult to avoid if you need LDAP, but
Gnome is hardly compulsory.

(most of my hate right now is devoted to our DRP scripts. Weird
cruft written in ksh by a guy who isn't alive to maintain them any

I saw part of a telecast of some Wagner opera or other on TV one time. It
took two characters the best part of an hour to say "Oh! Hello!" to each
other. At that point I turned it off, even though I was in grave danger of
missing the first five or six minutes of "How're you doing?" -- Dave Brown
