Mostly questions of a general nature. They seemed very interested in
StarOffice and my prognosis of future trends for commercial products
to appear for open source platforms. The interviewer professed
ignorance of freshmeat although he had heard of newsforge and
sourceforge.

At first he hinted that he was asking questions for an open source
company. But not knowing that freshmeat exists sort of blew that.

He was very interested in Linux in my community college. As of today,
I am a "purchase influencer" at Henry Ford Community College. We
spoke for almost 2 hours. I think I sold him a copy of Mandrake for
his laptop. :-)
