Could you Harry> get a lincoln for me even though you already have millers?' The difference is the tools we're talking about are both freely available at no cost. It doesn't cost the employer anything one way or the other. It's like me walking into an interview with a craftsman hammer and having the employer say, 'sorry we only use brandX hammers here'.

I never said he shouldn't know how to use a hammer... only that the employer shouldn't care which kind he uses.
