Oh lord, turn me loose Tony! I'll head up your marketing and they'd be
saying "Steve Jobs? Who is he?" You betcha, they'll be saying "See that
ad pic of the guy with the goat on that sailboat with the captain
drinking a martini out of a 32 oz Big Gulp cup? I want THAT on MY
machine!" Busty babes in the background of course.  

I think where Tony will have to be headed is something like Red Hat
Ready, like they used to promote. It's a great way to get a garage full
of test swag. Whoops! Maybe I shouldn't have told. :) Ric
