Well I guess you havn't noticed the way that the open source community ethos aligns with other kinds of thinking. We'll pretend that isn't a thing then. I would have thought you would be enthused that I am advocating the use of OS software. I am a bit of a computer dunce yet I have installed and ran a Linux distribution. Also there ate things like email clients that can be used on other, non Linux platforms, that I had hped the list would be interested in promoting the widespread use of. But clearly not. Fair enough. Thanks for the warm welcome friendly OS partner. -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG https://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/listfaq
