Hello Toy,

This was my idea too but I just heard from someone I know at the NYC Sales Office and he confirms this person is real and the ad is "legit" in that respect.

He still feels it's in bad taste but he was quick to point out people usually don't confuse Dr. Schmidt with a Network Admin type.

Still, it's a low blow.

Yes ... I did some checking also ... he *does* exist ... he *is* the IS person and honestly *did* convert everything to Windows. He has a huge budget and tons of people working for him to make it all keep running. He has the ability to throw money and bodies at any problem ... and Microsoft caters to him well ... probably for quotes such as the one we all saw ... ;-)
