Oooo, you just caught him in a lie! I personally wrote to him about a
year and a half ago, when I thought Linux would be an appropriate
response to something in his column. He politely agreed that Linux was
an alternative, and eventually did a column touching on the subject. I
guarantee you if I wrote him about it, several other of the million
people in the Tampa Bay area did as well.

But as he almost never even mentions Linux, I assume he's a full on
Windows geek.
