Man, this storyline is going to bring the nerd hate.

Just for the record, I have no problem whatsoever with open source software or operating systems. I just don't want to have to work with them.

On an unrelated note, notice that, due to his injury, Jamie has failed to close his air quotes.

0017-------------------------------------

(Thursday. INT: JH's room, JH is unpacking one of the boxes)

EB: Why do you have three laptops?
JH: I don't.
EB: There's more?
JH: No, these three laptops are, in fact, one computer.
EB: How so?
---------------
JH: Are you familiar with something called "Linux"?
EB: Quite intimately so, yes. I'm dual boot on my home machine.
---------------
JH: Are you familiar with the concept of the cluster?
EB: I fix computers for a living, Jamie. I have more tech certifications than you have teeth. I assure you, I'm quite familiar with the concept of the cluster.
---------------
JH: Are you familiar with the concept of a cluster that won't work unless all the member computers are turned on simultaneously?
EB: Okay, see, that's less of a cluster and more of a clusterfuck.
