Interesting I do think it is your influencing beliefs, in eastern based religions there is little or no fear of death because there is the belief in reincarnation. That and the added belief that a fear of death is derived from a relatively "selfish" world view. Because you are contemplating your loss and not the other person's. An eastern world view would be spend time with your son, so when you do die you leave him with loving memories of the time you spent together.

I run a computer sales / repair shop and i do bundle mostly open source offerings, mainly firefox for browsing, dev c++ for C programming (a good number of my customers are CS majors) and other apps. Usually I offer open source software where ever possible, in the case of firefox, the number of complaints i've had of viruses and spyware has been greatly reduced. As a result my clients are more than happy to refer my shop to their friends because of their overall positive experiences. Furthermore using open source apps in my experience have been alot more stable and have helped to reduce the overall cost of the system being sold.
