explain to my boss why I can't use the product I've been telling him is
the best there is.  I'm not the only person who's fallen into this

	I wouldn't mind this if it were done in a useful way, there's one
for FreeBSD around here (Silicon Valley), and it's pretty safe to assume
that there's at least one for Linux.
