*applause* very well said, Neils ... =) the only thing i'd add is that in addition to short-term pragmatism borne of choice-awareness, social and economic systems awareness can direct a form of long-term pragmatism that is equally important. choosing Freedom over other constraints can, if exercised judiciously, ensure we maintain the ability to make such hardware and software choices (whether that choice be for Free and non-Free systems) well into the future. -- Aaron J.
