Aaaaaaaaaaaaah!!  Run away! Run away! ;-)

I would keep the Sun box and leave the car :-)

Speaking of which, I suppose at least some of you saw the link on /.
a week or two back where a guy stuck a Sun E450 in the back of his
car and uses it as an MP-3 player? :-p


>Yes, you are right.  I am a recruiter.  So "like me" is right.

Maybe you're missing the nuance of "like me."  There are all kinds of 
recruiters. Some are like you.  Some are not.  Some of them are the
scum of the earth.  We hope they aren't like you :-)

Gee, I wonder if it was the same guy?  I don't think he was doing recruiting
8 years ago, but if it was in Tokyo, send me his name off-list and I'll
remember if it was him or not :-)

>You might think I am not that sharp because I am still sticking around,

Actually, like Josh said, the fact that you're still here and listening
to what we have to say impresses us.  You're the first recruiter
to ever survive TLUG training to this point, I think ;-)

We'd be happy to help with that.  One of our members, Scott, has a whole
bunch of useful pages for Linux beginners.

They are announced on this list, and everyone is welcome.  Sadly, I'm
not in Japan anymore, or I'd show up myself.  I do miss the TLUG
nomikais.
