Preach it, brother.

I'm particularly thinking of their response to the NewsBytes article about CardCops. Everyone in the profession should read The Register, because contrary to what some people would have you believe, they don't make it up. They just tell it how it is. -- Peter Shill For Hire

Are you kidding? They COULDN'T make that stuff up!

Even if I don't agree with them, their opinion are still worth reading and thinking about. 1. (By far the most important reason I wish more journalists were like the Reg's) They actually do analyze and think intelligently about what's going on in the PC biz, instead of just regurgitating press releases and the latest line from MS.

I hope they / their staff are er eating well.. no one is not-a prostitute when the kids are screamin for more gruel and, BillyBally come visiting with Monopoly Money not from the game board. (I'd doubt UK immune; just likely more resistant to the Obvious ploys which work so well with vast majority of Murican PHBs. In fact I have little idea about the UK-PHBs' TLAs and differing-styles of mental masturbation ??) Peter? an overview.. for anthropological research? Cheers, A.

While we're at it, let's get Andrew to subnmit a couple of his more incendiary pieces "When it crosses my mind to do something, I don't ask why, I ask why not.
