Hi Frank, I guess when it pays <grin> I agree with you and have been
saying this. In the context of this particular little war though, free
has no place is what I meant to say.

Well we will see about that. I think that in the end freesoftware will
reign supreme in market share, accessibility, features, and stability.
I
believe that this will happen through hardware vendors that ship boxes
with accessible Gnu/Linux systems. People will figure out that money
can
be made from free software. Support costs can go down and stability can
improve. This lowers cost for all involved.
So Dave when are you going to start using the Gnu/Linux system?
