Sometimes when you are pushing open source software it may feel like an uphill struggle, it is but it is worth it.
I am self employed and begriming in the new year my business is going to expand.
(Please note "buy", I don't mind paying for good software.)
I will buy Linux (RedHat 7,3).
I will buy StarOffice 6
I will buy Eudora.
I will buy Opera.
I don't have to tell you what I am not going to buy.
This is because a colleague passed on fuckmicrosoft.com and a few others.
Granted he was sowing on fertile ground but I am converted,
I am unassimilated.
The pro-Linux boards were very different from the pro-Microsoft ones. Pro-Linux boards contain facts and reason, MS sites... er... don't.
This is the board I came back to the most and will continue to.
So thank you everyone - early next year there will be one more person taking the open source root, small reward for your efforts but it is working.
You will win because you are right.
