[ILUG] thank you microsoft

[Paul McCourt (Halcyon)]

You need not thank the company but thank my great employer, for it is he who
paved the way for the internet, e-commerce and many cottage software
companies.

C'mon now, "For he's a jolly good fellow for he's a golly good fellow!!!"

Regards

Paul

PS Wind up!!

The guy was obviously some kind of complete moroon that new how to run
only his own little set of programs on NT and thought he was great.

I must admit I thought the bit about installing all the CD's was great.
I can just imagine him looking at the screen listing the packages and
saying, "I don't know what any of this is, I just install it all."
hehehe. "Ah it's taking ages. I bet the 6 CD install of SuSe 6.2 still
took about half as long as a Win2kRC2 install. I left that thing running
for about an hour it think. And that's 1 CD.

Anyway, I'm sure all the equally intelligent NT admins will agree
entirely with what he has to say, even if they've never installed it or
not.

Glen.
