So a guy just called and said... "So I see you've got them free Linuxes... which kind of those would I want for hooking up my Playstation and my computer."
My response: "Ummm.... eh.... wha? Sir, you do realize that an operating system is something like Windows, right?"
"Oh, yeah, right. So I want to hook up my Playstation and my computer to the internet and don't wanna keep taking the cat cable out and plugging it into one and then the other."
"Sir, what you need is a router... it already has a micro-operating system with Linux on it."
"But... how will I hook up my Playstation and my computer to the little Linux?"
"Sir, we will sell you two more Cat-5 cables... they're only $.50 a foot and then you can hook everything up to the router."
"Ok... so I come and buy this little Linux and these two cables and I'll be good to go?"
"You should be sir... there are some minor configurations that you might have problems with (oh yeah, you will) and if you do, one of our technicians can come out on-site and configure your router for you."
Note to self: no more ads in the paper aimed at anyone with a 3-digit IQ and anything more than a knowledge that computers exist.
