I saw a blurb in either Unix Today or UnixWorld that mentioned that
while many workstation users were going multivendor, they still tended
to have strong loyalties to their primary vendor.  The one exception was
HP, where more than 50% of the customers surveyed said that if they
had the chance to make the decision again they would go with someone
else.  There's a message there somewhere.

I'm not sure which upsets me more; that people are so unwilling to accept
responsibility for their own actions, or that they are so eager to regulate
everyone else's.
