How do you suppose they get away with that?  It'd be a cold day in
hell.  No really - that *any* company (besides the one I work for)
thinks that they can tell me what I can or cannot do is beyond my
understanding.  My response would be something allong the lines of "Um,
no.  Bite me.  Eat my underpants.  I think I'll be making the switch to
Sun systems, I hear that that GNOME thing is pretty spiffy..."  I SOOOOO
want to witness the reaction to that.
