    And we're meant to beleive a person whose server can't stand up to a /. 4 seconds after being posted. I bet this guy uses IE.

    You were embarrassed because you were pitching to a client who was such an idiot, he's never even heard of GNU/Linux? What were you embarrassed about? The fact that you actually tried to pitch a product to a fool like that?

    Please. Your mistake was in pitching to a client who's such a pathetic ignoramus, he doesn't even know what GNU/Linux is. At this point, if you're in a position to buy computer technology and you're not familiar with Linux, you're a baboon in a suit.

    You should have given him a lollipop.
