At this point it probably doesn't matter to me what they do, as long as they get somewhere sensible, so it doesn't become a burden to me going forward. Yes, I'd prefer them to migrate to free software. But there is a free software implementation (ragged I suspect) of the Windows APIs, and although it is "free software" I'm not sure I'd be much happier if they went there, since the only goal of going there would be to save cash, and still run proprietary software. -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/listfaq
