Reminds me of a customer of mine, who DOES understand the social position of
being a customer.

I was driving along I-10 (I think, somewhere in the Florida Panhandle) and
saw a Blackbird parked alongside of the expressway. I immediately exited and
found the SR-71 on display at some museum.

While looking at this magnificient expression of aviation technology, my
beeper went off. Tom knew I was on vacation, and knew not to interrupt me,
but he beeped anyway - because it was important.

I called him on my cellphone and told him "I'm standing under a Blackbird!",
then asked what he needed. I don't remember what he needed, but it wasn't
important enough for him even to mention on that call. He said Cool!, asked
me to take some pictures of the plane and to call back later. He was not
going to interrupt looking at the SR-71 (or RS-71, if LBJ could read better)
for some silly computer issue.

I've always liked a little balance in a customer<g>.
