Yes, she was probably feeling a little threatened.

You could have told her that companies like hers are going
UP AGAINST THE WALL when the revolution comes.

Hehe. Yeah, that's basically what I meant, although I didn't think to put it quite that way. (:

Come to think of it, I have to thank Hummingbird Software. It was the, ahem, suboptimal handling of file locking in their NFS client software several years ago that allowed me to get Samba in the door at my last job. (And this was after we had paid for a bunch of Hummingbird client licenses. It didn't work with our main application, so I had to find a solution that did.)
