Ah, let's don't start that discussion. Already wasted too much
bandwidth with this crap :-)
Can't resist one: I was in France at a Compaq facility, and wanted to
work on a Saturday to prepare for a class I was to teach. This was
during the height of the dot-com boom, so everybody wanted to let me but
5 different people each had to ask their boss if it was okay, and
finally the last guy called some government official. Then they gave me
permission to work on Saturday.
That's commie!
