my ears pricked when i heard 'linuxlingam' :-) okay, i agree with spoonman. human consciousness always chooses the path of minimum resistance. therefore, in the present scenario, using M$ and other propreitory-software is the path of minimum resistance. the same people resisted using computers about a decade or two ago. should gnu/linux become the path of minimum resistance, it will be adopted, even it may no longer offer any real value or may actually be counter-productive. second, i agree with spoonman that i might have a tough job on my hands to make spoonman change from mutt to kmal or whatever. but this is the path of maximum resistance. and i am human. :-) more seriously, advocay of anything is a grand delusion, a huge self-importance trip, yeah, you are the morpheus, the neo, humanity has to be saved, and all that crap. the only person you can 'save' is yourself. more realistically, you have to be the change you wish to see in the world. which is why i used macintoshes with their gui and mice and overall technical superiority and paradigm-shifts since 1984, and which is why i use gnulinux, for the vision and philosophy of mukt and muft intellectual 'property' whether in software or other more important domains like medicine, knowledge, education, music, and more. spoonman, continue using mutt. tarun, continue using outlook. billgates, dual-boot with gnulinux in your personal desktop. it does not matter to me. :-) LL _______________________________________________ ilugd mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd
