Frank: “Hey, Frank.”
Frank: “Just before we start, does anyone know where the bathroom is?”

Frank: “Er…”
Frank: “It’s okay, Frank, it’s why I’m all here.”

Besides, he’s doing some cool wed2.0ish stuff.
surely, you’re joking
In response to a question on the role of open source software in Africa, Gerald Ilukwe, the general manager of Microsoft Nigeria, said that cost is not important, even though he admitted that the average annual salary in the West African country is only $160 (£91).

They say trining is the main issue. Right. So all the developing world bloggers have an MS certification. The article also finds it funny, especialy in light of free & open grassroots African learning initiatives.
