Fogotten in the Equation - Software Costs Money (Score 1)

Pointing out that ultimately it affects the kids. All the complaining that Linux is not ready, and "ONLY" M$ can provide software/support - bull! My 7 year old 1st grade nephew has been working with a GUI based computer since he was 5 - both M$ product & Linux, he gets around in both just fine (But REALLY likes Tux Racer!!)... Just goes to show that the Kids are really the thing that matters - NOT the $$ involved. I'm all for replacing anything like the power hungry - status concious - nepoleonic attitude of Gates & co. The Linux community as a whole is about sharing and spreading free software - PLUS sharing IDEAS. Free exchange of ideas and information is what it is really about!!
