Re: The quiet hero almost never gets the beer.

I have quite a bit of time for some IBM people. Years ago I bought one of their thin clients on eBay and was trying to get linux running on it. I was having trouble getting it loaded. I thought I would take a punt and email the IBM service folks. I actually told them that I got it second hand, and was just playing around with it, so it wasn't critical. After being asked some questions about the problem, I was given an email address to which I was supposed to send detailed information, which I did. It turns out it was the person who wrote the bootloader for it. I got it running.
