Good to know that the only reason schools exist these days is to train kids for "business", regardless of their interest.

Now that's a lie!
We learn Shakespeare too (just not how to spell it). Lots of jobs going in Shakespeare, especially these days.

Yes they do, they made me memorize this: (I'm not getting this off the net, so if it's way wrong then it's my horrible memory)
"Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow
creeps in this petty pace from day to day to the last syllable of recorded time,
and all our yesterdays have lighted fools the way to dusty death,
life's but a walking shadow a poor player that struts and frets his hour upon the stage and then is heard no more,
it is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury signifying nothing !"
How did I do ? I think I may have missed a phrase or two ... oh well, it was all from memory I swear (from Macbeth, it's a really nice speech) ... I missed "Out, out, brief candle!", well fuck ;)

--- Quote from: Commander ---the speech is really short.. i used 6000$ as the cost and gave opencds to everyone to try out some of the OSS. i think it convinced most of the people. THere was just one guy that had a disagree vote, 2 neutral and the other 18 were agreed (none strongly agree though, there's only so much you can say in 6 minutes)
and i couldnt really say the extra cost because i didnt want to weaken my point as i wouldnt have had time to state the contrary.
PS. good hint about SQL server 2003 :D i was wondering what the hell was wrong.

So, in short, you blew a bunch of hot air up the audience's asses.
Did you include in your speech that there is no open source equivalent to MS SQL 2000 or Microsoft's Active Directory and that emulating the feature set of both the above products using open source products would take atr the very least, twice the I.T. staffing?
What exactly were these fictitious companies doing with Windows Server 2003 and MS SQL 2000, and How many computers (servers, sql servers, workstations) are involved?

Who cares about the fucking audience ... they're all half asleep anyway, and if they were awake they would give a fuck either, presentation are just a game of tossing bullshit back and forth, and we all end up covered in it in the end :D
