I once went to Comdex, where from the CPU group I got a big (4") button
that said "HP
Supports NT" printed in a circle around an HP logo. I then wandered over
to the
printer/scanner part of the HP display, and each time I asked "does it
have NT drivers?" I
was told "No." So I'd look at this large button I was wearing, look at
the salescritter,
take the badge off and hold it up against the HP logo on the printer or
scanner and make a
show of comparing the two logos, and so on, and ask questions like "Is
this the same HP
that is handing out these buttons?" or "Oh, so HP has a corporate policy
of lying?" or
"Oh, so this is a counterfeit HP product?" When they explained it was
authentic, I would
say, "But it can't be real, or it would support NT. See here where it
says that HP
supports NT..."

It was a really fun Comdex.

You should have grabbed a few more of those buttons, use a red marker, draw
a red diagonal across them and hand to those printer people. They would be
happy to show them off.
