I'm sure they'd need an administrator either way.

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.

--- Quote from: toadlife ---Yeah, That's the best way to convince people...just make shit up to support your argument. That allways works.


BTW Commander, There is no such thing as "SQL Server 2003".

I always make shit up ... or I use data in an obscure way, for example I'll do all sorts of calculations and assumptions to arrive at the answer I want, I work backwards from the answer I wanna get :D :) :thumbup: my teachers never complain they don't know jack shit anyway

Commander:
hahaha.
i couldnt really do that because there was an engineer and a cs kid in my class and it would've been preety embarrasing to get caught :D.  probably would've defeted the entire purpose of my speech :(

but i'm glad it's over now... that was a bad day.  i had an interview a few hours before my speech.
