So someone has GameOS I just shrug and say "I don't do windows. Can

Tried that with a relative a few days ago. She seemed to not

Yes. "But it's a computer. You have to understand it, because you work
with computers."

Well, _no_, actually.

Oh just let it slip that you work for VOZ. My standard reply was that if
they could lift the computer in question, it was not my problem. In this
gig, all *my* computers are securely fastened to the nice 19" rack, so I
think it still applies. Also, my lord and manager has omitted to fasten
his new web proxy (something with a rotary dial on the front that runs
Windows), so that box is now *also* Not My Problem.

That most of my boxes can now be slid forward without many unrelated
blinkenlichten stopping blinking is an added bonus. I'm no rack-mount
artist but by $DEITY I can tell the difference between a properly
connected machine and something out of an H.P. Lovecraft story.
