What gets me is that they do it to people who know better. Paper pusher guy comes to work in our office and touts to me (IT guy) how he gets beta chips from Intel and pre-releases from Microsoft and how his (I'm dating myself) dialup is faster than my ISDN. Yes, he was on AOL.

Sigh

BTW - my dad has a TBM 700 I fly regularly, but it's overseas right now.
