Well, I've always found that shaving it off and selling it on eBay has been rather profitable, and so like yours, mine varies in length. Last time I met you, mine was long, yours was short, now yours is long, mine's short. These are the fluctuations of life, what can you say.

RMS:: No. So why are you at linux.conf.au if you're a BSD hacker? Groggy:: I'm trying to subvert the whole movement and show them the one true way. RMS:: Into Linux, yes, the one true way. Groggy:: Ahhh, one of these days you will understand. |

Andrew and Miguel (draft)
- Miguel
- Hi, who are you?
- Andrew
- Andrew.
- Miguel
- Andrew, hi. Do you know who I am?
- Andrew
- Miguel de Icaza
- Miguel
- Wow, nice to know. Have you heard of Mono?
- Andrew
- I have.
- Miguel
- You have. Do you use Mono?
- Andrew
- Only when a program that somebody else wrote insists on using Mono
- Miguel
- Ohhh. You should you Mono for everything.
- Andrew
- No, I only use it for preparing panaroma images.
- Miguel
- Ahh. You see, Mono is the greatest language ever invented.
- Andrew
- Ahh! Well, I must have to find something else that will be better then.
- Miguel
- No no, because you see we're going to have a Mono-poly, it's all going to be Mono.
- Andrew
- The one true Mono.
- Miguel
- Yes, very much so.
- Andrew
- Right. Couldn't it be a Duo?
- Miguel
- No no, I think Intel's trademarked that now.
- Andrew
- Trio?
- Miguel
- No, that's Sony isn't it? No, Handspring.
- Andrew
- Quattro.
- Miguel
- Audi.
- Andrew
- Ah, and I don't know Italian for five, or Spanish.
- Miguel
- Yes.
- Andrew
- I can see the problem.
- Miguel
- Yes, it's very serious, everyone should just use Mono.
- Andrew
- I've run out now.
- Miguel
- Yeah, so have I.
