Is anyone else "under-clocking"?

In Response To: Re: What is your "ego boost" watch? ()

This made me very sad to read, Sean. Over the years, I've been in a number of organizations where we can't be ourselves (despite others indulging themselves in ways that defies belief and being encouraged to!). That's why I went out on my own in business.

You've got to do what you've got to do, and I respect that.

Now I'm wondering if others of our brothers and sisters here might be similarly required to hide their lights under barrels?

When I owned one of my earlier PalmPilots, the Palm Vx, there was a thing called "over-clocking," which meant changing the system so that the processor ran faster than intended. In your case, Sean, I'd say you are "under-clocking" if you have to wear a non-Omega watch out of concern of being discriminated against.

Any ideas as to how we might combat this terrible act of ignorance?
