Ahh, bite my tongue. Marketing people and TW don't mix. Friends don't let
friends become marketing. Dilbert had a good jab at marketing a couple of
months ago ... the marketing guru had a magazine . . . . and the war room
was called to retrieve it. Tranquilizer 'phoot' to the neck of the
marketing guru.
Dilbert took a jab at the Holy War, too-- had a McCarthian roundup of Unix and
Mac users and interrogated them.
