This was on the Greeley LUG's list.  Thought you'd all be interested.

Subject: Re: [Glug]IBM Linux ad

Started out with a corporate exec greeting police screaming "we've been
robbed."

Police enter like gangbusters and walk into nearly empty room.

Exec's yelling "they've taken everything, including the servers!", as camera
pans around.

A clued sys admin walks by casually, saying something the the effect "No,
it's over there.  I sent an e-mail."

Camera pans to single server rack by the wall.  IBM with Linux (Linux in
bold red italics) across screen with announcement something like better,
faster, much cheaper solution.

Shooting for the bottom line.

Hope some were still watching by the third quarter;^)
