Further proof that Windows-only networkers truly have no idea what *actual*
computers are.  I had a guy try to convince me about 2 weeks ago that an
Athlon with a TI500 card was a way better choice for graphivs work than an
SGI.

I also had a guy on the SNENUG (Souther NE Network Users Group) listserv say
that MS DNS on Win2k is "one of the better DNS implementations out there".
Needless to say, I tore him a new one.

On the same list, a guy who runs a consulting company had *no idea* how to
run a DNS and register a host with Network Solutions.  The same guy was
flabbergasted that Network Solutions didn't handle MX records with their DNS
services.

Fucking morons....

Aerons hurt my back and neck...
