First off, let me say I've thoroughly enjoyed this debate and found your comments enlightening. I have several friends outside of radio (it happens) who are paid nicely to fly around the country every week and install their highly specialized appliance version of Linux. But the other half of the battle is training these car dealers to use it (and embrace it) instead of their familiar Windows machine at home. You may know this software company best by their logo on your payroll check. However, I'm told their version of Linux also does it's thing everyday at the NYSE.
As I think about it, there are some parallels to broadcast environments and most any business I turned 65 this year and it seems like someone has set the world of new technology to double speed, while the learning curve has become more of a climb. So I've finally decided to learn some new things, and embrace them in hopes of better productivity. The doc says cut out all that sugar and salt in your diet! Ever try to not consume suga r ? Nearly impossible because it's part of what my pallet knows best. Ah, but how much better my system feels when cutting out the unnecessary bloat. And every morning, when I reboot, I'm glad I tried to improve. Just the other day, I'm nearly upside down in the dentist chair for what seemed like forever, staring into that giant light with the really fun rubber dam/clamp like thing giving my jaw cramps, and the Dentist says, "Opps!". My mind races to that Bill Cosby routine where he says "Oh no, that can't be good". The Dentist says, hold on a second, we've lost our X-rays picture. I glance over at the monitor and, you guessed it, "Windows XP is restarting". Just greaaaaat. Thanks again for all your insight! -Steve
