Flog this

I read the article. I lost a friend on 9/11. He ran into that building to save lives, and lost his own. One of my relatives barely escaped. Several guys from my old union local died. A business associate's wife died. I was across the street on a lunch break inside One Liberty Plaza resting on a beam when the explosion in 1993 knocked me off the beam (I was laying on it sleeping). I had been talking to the heavy security guard who died in the 1993 bombing one week prior to his death. I had walked past the security guard station repeatedly just the previous week.

   

  I see nothing wrong with this article. It is informative, and descriptive of the company's reaction to the terrorist event, and of their assistance to New York and America during the aftermath. It shows that they are not afraid to try something different to solve a problem while under a great deal of stress. They are to be commended. It is with their assistance, and with thousands upon thousands of other companies, and many, many more individuals who helped and continue to help America get back on her feet.

And maybe some of their Windows administrators and techs who now want to learn Linux will decide to give something back to the community, something that I still don't see coming from Windows admins and techs.
