Convert me! (from windows)

[RecursiveStar]

Never been on a site before where the moderator tries to make everyone go away!!!!        

Further aspect to my original question, I use an accounting package which uses a Progress database - it's been a real bu**er even under *indows (because it's DOS based) - will that have to die if I change?

Searched the whole, wide, world on the internut, but no answer

lol, yeah thats right, spend $1000 on an iBook, then spend another few hundred on MS Office, and then you can do everything that can be accomplished for free with linux on your current windows computer. Not a very convincing argument guys.

There's a thing called OpenOffice that does all M$ Office does for free. And for Macs too.

Macs are better, more stable, and hold their value ten times better. And face it, they are just plain sexy

You missed my point. The man already has a x86 box, so why not install linux for free. Even if he did get openoffice for a mac, he'd still have to buy a $1000 mac.

Lets face it, Linux is better, more stable, and holds its value 1000% more. Oh, and linux is sexy too.
