If only they didn't like to double dip

I have to be honest that my feelings towards their data centre products aren't what they were since they decided to charge an extra license fee to actually use the highly specialised hardware that you just bought at great expense.

That's just greedy.

Has anybody seen my friend's white mice, Frankie and Benjy, recently?

[Michael Habel]

They were last seen on the legendary planet of Magrathea, (somewhere in the Horese Head Nebua), on their way back home.
