Isn't that the script of a Dilbert strip? Maybe, for shirt purposes, just distill that down to its essence: "Here's a nickel, kid. Get yourself a better computer." It could also be modified a bit: "Here's a nickel, kid. Blank CDs are cheap. Get yourself a better operating system." . . . maybe with a Windows logo crossed out, or with a FreeBSD logo, or something like that. Of course, one of my favorite one-liners is one I made up: "Power corrupts. The command line corrupts absolutely." . . . or, altneratively: "Power corrupts. Unix corrupts absolutely." -- Chad Perrin [ content licensed PDL: http://pdl.apotheon.org ] Quoth Larry Wall: "What is the sound of Perl?
