BTW, anyone remember an add promoting linux, which run on CNN some
couple of years ago? From what I remember it was about a kid in front
of a TV screen, absorbing knowledge in form of images. The kid
symbolizing linux...
It had a kinda X-Men feel to it, but it wasn't that good, otherwise I
would have remembered it more clearly.

It didn’t matter if you told them that you had added in a module
that could use statistical algorithm to solve a day to day report
that took them 6 days base don data from an excel spreadsheet
compiled into database and into a report in their software.
That was the initial success of M$oft and is the success of some
telecom companies – make them feel good, and the rest is history.

Regrettably, Mr. Asay concluded, the developers responsible for
Linux aren't the right people to market the advantages of Linux.
Very truthful statement above. I do concur 100%.
BTW I am the owner of an IPOD and you should see how cool it makes
me feel whenever am listening to audio material or watching movies
on it. I just feel NICE.
When you call Kiggs on his line that uses the Iphone, the way he
talks to you is so much more sexy and cool than when he is using his
other Nokia based line. <image002.gif>
And who said customers don't buy feelings? They do.
