Hi All, I know Aidan and he's gonna have the job, the 2.0 litre car, the house, the lady, and a rewarding career when he's thirty. Maybe he'll work on cool projects in Media labs and contribute to OpenSource in his spare time. But then Aidan's not ordinary. I also know a very smart doctorate student from Zimbabwe. Schools and hospitals have to pay relatively exorbidant prices for licences. My friend had a thought of localising OpenOffice and some free OSs. Althought no one will pay him for this, do you think he should do it? I do. I know another guy who's developing a great App on top of OpenOffice. And guess what he get's paid for it. He also contributes to open source projects. Forget cynisism man. I myself am finishing a masters. I hope not to become a number when I go out into the real world. I don't want to be a cog in a corporate wheel, but if I become one I hope that what I do will contribute and make someone's lot better. And they might do the same for someone else...... P
