<SPAN

To
give you a little background - I was actually born and spent the first part of my childhood in Bermuda! There Kool-Aid was an inegral part of growing up for me :) As well as Oreos with a glass of milk before bed time..
<SPAN

Now I
live in Worcester in the UK where Kool-Aid is not even close to available.. Oreos are however in small boxes of 12 from the local Tescos..

What I
would give for a bucket of Kool Aid every now and then... :(

    Consensus reality (as one of my friends calls   it).  If everyone thinks that something should   work a certain way then they will alter reality so <FONT   size=2>that it works as they think it should.  With all these ads they   can get the masses to believe that it really works now   and then it actually will (even if it's not supposed   to work properly).   :)

  Hey, I saw the ads on TV.  Microsoft now makes enterprise   software, which gives sa's peace of mind...

  It always amazes me how companies identify a problem, then   create ads to turn people's perception around.    So now Microsoft is telling people that their systems   are reliable and never crash, so system administrators can <FONT   size=2>relax.
  Hopefully with Win2K they actually fixed the problems, and are   not just posting ads on TV to turn people's perception   around to boost sales.
  Eventually I will figure out how the world works.  It's   taking me a while, though.

          There is, however,
  one significant difference: stability. If <FONT   size=2>Microsoft         <FONT
  size=2>starts making stable
          products, we might
  just as well start using them, but  knowing <FONT   size=2>Microsoft,         <FONT
  size=2>I'm not overly        
  worried.
