Hey Leythos,

You remember that jackass IT Directory we talked about at the company I
work for a while back?

Well, he is not even being eased out of the way gracefully now. Whole
departments have been taken away from him now, and it's just a matter of
time for him. He backed the recommendations of some *clown*, that was
literally working for Taco Bell before being hired by him, on the Linux
platform, instead of listening to his senior personnel that work on MS.
He wasted a big expenditure on that project and it was rejected and he
should have gone MS and that was the down fall for him.

The whole thing failed miserably as the users rejected it and wouldn't
pay for it at the plants. So I and the programming team I am working on
will be doing a lot of it on the MS platform and going on about our
business, as it should have been to begin with.

Duane :)
