Well,
it was actually a Jonestown reference ( for those of
you
following the history of "truly devoted" religious cults),
but I
have to say I like your story better.

<SPAN

To
give you a little background - I was actually born and spent the first part of
my childhood in Bermuda! There Kool-Aid was an inegral part of growing up for
me :) As well as Oreos with a glass of milk before bed time..
<SPAN
class=754491921-06022001>
Now
I live in Worcester in the UK where Kool-Aid is not even close to available..
Oreos are however in small boxes of 12 from the local Tescos..

What
I would give for a bucket of Kool Aid every now and then...
:(

a.k.a
"Drinking the Kool-Aid"
works well in small, isolated groups.

Consensus reality (as one of my friends calls
it). If everyone thinks that something should
work a certain way then they will alter reality so <FONT
size=2>that it works as they think it should. With all these ads they
can get the masses to believe that it really works
now and then it actually will (even if it's not
supposed to work properly). :)

Hey, I saw the ads on TV. Microsoft now makes
enterprise software, which gives sa's peace of
mind...
It always amazes me how companies identify a problem, then
create ads to turn people's perception around.
So now Microsoft is telling people that their
systems are reliable and never crash, so system administrators can
relax.
Hopefully with Win2K they actually fixed the problems, and
are not just posting ads on TV to turn people's
perception around to boost sales.
Eventually I will figure out how the world works. It's
taking me a while, though.

There is,
however, one significant difference: stability. If <FONT
size=2>Microsoft <FONT
size=2>starts making stable
products, we
might just as well start using them, but knowing <FONT
size=2>Microsoft,
I'm not overly
worried.
