    Yeah...

    They don't come around me anymore...

    One of my friends was basically touting the "new and improved" tcp stack in 2k. He didn't quite say it like that, but that's the gist of it.

    He had been going over and over features at this point and I assurred him everything he mentioned we already had.

    However, I couldn't forgive the tcp stack mad loving...

    So I stopped while we were walking...

    Turned to him and informed him... it was a very nice stack... quite nice... one of the best...

    Oh yes... it was also the BSD tcp stack.. not msft.

    That doesn't half make your tagline ironic for the current story, does it?
