Ok, so I'm somewhat "bizarre" and my posts tend to be "atypical".  
Therefore, how could I _not_ follow up with my thoughts on my conversion 
of _2_ WINDOWS guys over to Linux?  Let me pose it as one of those goofy 
"Mastercard" commericals:

a) CB takes a network-admin job at some financial institution in 
Buckhead - $xx,000
b) Replacing several win-boxen with 1 linux box - ( some negative 
number; saved them lots of money )
c) Co - Workers do everything in their power to avoid working with 
"that" linux box until forced to do so by management ( some amount of 
stress )
d) Management forces them to begin working with Open-Source languages 
and Operating Systems ( management making a wise business decision )
e) Co-Workers work on that linux box, because they're "forced" to... ( 
painful for the co-workers; but they do it because they have to )

f) naming your company's first linux box, "tomahawk" waaay back in 
October of 2001 (see item [a] above) and having your co-workers suddenly 
become "enthusiastic" about working with it [ and Linux ] in 2003 
because they finally belive in it:   (hence the "subliminal" subject-line)


TRULY   PRICELESS



I just had to share that.  Sorry guys, I don't mean to ramble.

Regards,
CB
