See today's Doonesbury for a fine discursus on borging.

Funny, yes, but there's much truth in this and it doesn't bode well for the academia biz. But I still don't understand the borgs, though. Why would a laptopper even want to compete against the wetwares? What's the point? What does it prove? What satisfaction does it derive?

What kind of idiots are they?

There's a site called yelp.com where you can post reviews of restaurants, etc. I just posted one for Zack's in Little Rock that "addresses" this issue. Maybe some of you might do the same for them and other well known borgs.

Funny, I was thinking the exact same thing when I read it this morning.

I'd consider it a trivia form of trolling.
