Good one, Bryan !
To supplement : At my hospital, the "techies" are just those
McDonald's rejects. They force me to have Windows on my office PC,
which is impractical for a surgeon (working with a blood pressure
way up in the paint cards makes my hands tremble). So, every
morning I just throw my Knoppix into the cupholder and off we go.
And I still refuse to help my colleagues out when their Windows
boxes turn blue, 'cause I never use the crap.
Now, just to keep the "techies" away from my PC, whenever I leave my
office I just use this "screensaver" (see attached picture).
