That's not quite true. Almost, but not quite. The people
on the other end of the line know where to send you and
what commands to use to set up Windows/Mac. But they
don't / can't know for Linux.

Like the fellow who argued with me that I was probably using
Windows XP after I told him I don't use Windows. Well, he's
probably taking the correct path. My sister recently told
me that she has a fried (woman at work) with whom she wanted
to share some stuff. The woman bemoaned the fact that she
got the wrong thing, and couldn't share with anybody,
because she didn't run Windows, she ran Gateway. Of course,
she had Win XP.
