Well... most of *them* are idiots too.

Scene from Paul's old job:

"Web" (tm) "Develeper" (tm): "I can't get FrontPage/DreamWeaver to work."
Paul: "Use vi and sftp."
"Web" (tm) "Develeper" (tm): "I don't know what vi is."
Paul: "Then why do you work here?"

And yes, I worked there until the company ceased to exist.

Why? Because it was a dot-bomb founded on dot-bomb beliefs and run by
people with dot-bomb sensibilities. They also "spammed" people, but that's
another story.

Later,
Paul
