I don't know, whatever floats your boat! <grin>
(I have no idea where I picked that phrase up, but I've
used it for as far back as I can remember to mean
"sounds strange to me, but if it works for you then fine").

Hi all,

There's an ad on pp. 58-59 of the current issue of Information Week (May
25, 1998) that I'm completely at a loss to understand. It's a joint
Microsoft/HP ad featuring two nerds (male, black suits, ties, horn-rims)
standing in a rowboat facing a third nerd outside the rowboat with his
hand on a hose bibb that's not connected to anything. All this against a
plain white background. The caption reads "Any friend of UNIX is a friend
of ours."

Too Zen for me. Can anyone explain the significance of this?
