Very well :) Otherwise it's a > great anti-fashion proverb. no. it means 'just because many, many people do X, that doesn't prove X to be right' (nor does it prove it's wrong) >> information is as much a product as a car or a house, and it costs >> similar effort. > I disagree.

It's a false analogy. but developing just one copy of a program (that is worht to be bought) is usually more expensive than building a house; after it's finished it's indeed fairly inexpensive to sell it multiple times. unfortunately I haven't yet found many customers that pay me the price of a house for a single copy;) So I sold the first copy of Drive Snapshot for the same price as the thousandth, and (of course hope to sell millions). Do you really think after having sold thousand copies, I'm a good programmer, who deserves any dollar he makes, and after selling millions copies (and having charged money for it) I'll be suddenly an immoral man ? IMO it will (or propably 'would') still be the same thing: the customer gets some value for some amount of money. if the product is good enough, that the customer is happy - great. if not - not so great. But the customers contentness is probably not related to the fact, that I'm billionaire or not. tom ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by Shop4tech.com-Lowest price on Blank Media 100pk Sonic DVD-R 4x for only $29 -100pk Sonic DVD+R for only $33 Save 50% off Retail on Ink & Toner - Free Shipping and Free Gift. http://www.shop4tech.com/z/Inkjet_Cartridges/9_108_r285 _______________________________________________ Freedos-kernel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-kernel
