New Reminds me of an idiot...
There was a guy at Microsoft (don't all my "reminds me of an idiot" stories start that way?) who thought that the Seagate Cheetah was the best hard drive in the world. Never mind that they died 3 months after he bought them - he thought that it was great that they would keep sending him replacement hard drives!

Whotta idjit.
End of world rescheduled for day after tomorrow. Something should probably be done. Please advise.

Microsoft offers them the one thing most business people will pay any price for - the ability to say "we had no choice - everyone's doing it that way." -- [link|http://z.iwethey.org/forums/render/content/show?contentid=38978|Andrew Grygus]
