The door bell rings and I pick up the intercom to get, Hello mate, I`m the plumber where`s the leak?....

IBM wind up at Olympia

| | Comments (0)

I decided to go to the Linux show up the road at Olympia, (no students allowed as they don`t buy anything policy) and was chatting to a friend about what name I was going to call myself for the pass,

I had a few ideas but my friend said as IBM were there why not use SCO?, so I went for Rev Adrian Rat, Software Protection, S.C.O.....

I was very surprised that I didn`t get the usual slating for using Windows products and get the run of the mill Unix, Linux, BSD etc., supremacy lectures, I have W2k Pro, on most of my boxes....

I guessed right about the out come of my "gropers" sentencing, he got sectioned for 28 days....
