@kdfrawg One of my fondest memories is from ComputerLand corporate.
Picture an ailing Data General server hosting Novel 3.5. A machine that an entire sales force loathed.
Picture me placing it in the back of a pickup
Picture me filling the rest of the truck with sales geeks
Picture a drive to the country.
Picture giving the sales geeks a quick how-to on how to operate a .308 rifle.
Picture a Data General server in a million pieces.
Picture the bon fire and beer afterwards :D
