It has been celebration time

This is a bit personal, so excuse me:

My wife finished the her last chemotherapy and radiation treatments for breast cancer two days ago. We were really lucky to have caught it early, so my beautiful wife Carol's prognosis is pretty good.

One comment guys: please get your wives, girlfriends, mothers, and daughters to get frequent mamograms.

Question: Does anyone really pay attention to the Gartner Group?

"Go slow on Linux"

What bull.

Linux is a great tool for cutting costs of deploying IT systems.

If SCO does manage to win their lawsuits, I *think* that I can just fall back to a 3 year old version of SuSE and be OK legally. Hopefully, it will not come to that.

I find myself in the embarrassing situation of actually of owning more than a bit of SCO stock. Even at the risk of loosing money, I hope that they loose all of their law suits.
