What did he say? (Score 1)

He was fascinated. He's a bit of a geek himself, and when I started going off on Open Source vs. Proprietary, he was listening hard. Wave enough dinero in front of a congresscritter and they will react. I could see "state comptroller" dancing about in his head. He said he'd get back to me in a couple of weeks (It's been 2 1/2 weeks since our interview) and I'm fixing to contact him and ask "wazzup"? Honestly? He said (and who knows what that means when it comes to congressmen) that he liked the idea, and that he would ask the (texas) speaker of the house to propose a study on the issue. He also said that he'd have someone else study law on the matter (I asked him how much copyright law was there? He said "Plenty!" How much law was there that protected the consumer? "None!" In this case the consumer was the taxpayer!) Truth be told, I was planning on the end of this coming week as the date upon which I send him e-mail and ask "wazzup?" Like I said earlier, I'm a simple home user. I have never worked IT, and I likely never will. If there are any /. IT professionals that are willing to support my arguments about open source vs. proprietary solutions that are also IT professionals, I'd appreciate it if they'd contact me. I'd rather have the congressman talk to someone that's knowledgable on the subject.
