(blush) That didn't occur to me. Good thing I haven't had any "program on a whiteboard" interviews. Thanks for giving up your competitive advantage to all the HNers. :-) Personally, I hate to program on someone else's computer. I run pretty bog-standard linux with minimal plugins and aliases (in part, so that I'm comfortable in a bog-standard environment typical of servers). The problem is, lots of people have customized the crap out of their system. The result is added discomfort when I try to do something on their computer.
