<DIV><BR>I'm so sorry.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>> I work for a card-carrying MS shop</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Good. What the IT world needs is people who understand BOTH MS and
OpenSource products, and can weigh up the benefits of both in an experience,
reasoned manner.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Card-carrying linux evangelists have the same problems as card-carying MS
evangelists.. however thank goodness we have them!</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>What we REALLY need is a mix of evangelists and analysts so that the
died-in-the-wool MS/Mainframe shops get linux pushed at them from a variety of
viewpoints.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Regards,</DIV>
