One day I answered to a plea for help for a guy at Microsoft.  He was
supposed to install an HP/PA with HP/UX but he said he much preferreed
using Linux so he wanted to know if there was a version of Linux for
that architecture.  In fact he was the second guy of Microsoft I
caught roaming in Linux groups.

One of my previous signatures was a fake quote: "What system I use at
home?  Linux of course, I am not fool" Bill Gates.  :-)
