I absolutely agree...even drivel, if repeated often enough, starts to
acquire an air of credibility.  Having a reply piece that Sun field
people can hand to customer when they reference the Time or
InfoWorld article is needed.  It's tough enough out here in the
field for us without having to invent our own responses to such
crap.
