The smart suits know how fast the technology changes and sees right through
the FUD. When a CIO reads (in Einstein's column),

	"Linux is growing fast, with usage in corporations up
         30 percent last year, according to ProData Information
         Services,"

their ears perk up and a mental note is made. Our industry has always been
composed of 50% hype and 50% reality, so business has had to learn how to
make sense of it all. When it's time to get three bids to ugrade a firm's
information infrastructure -- which happens constantly -- they'll do the
homework themselves.
