Simple, I'm a libertarian.
Right wingers, just like left-wingers, are socialists.
Since libertarianism is fundamentally opposed to ALL forms of socialism,
then, for as long as I am a libertarian, I can NOT be a right winger.

Ah, so am I. I have a feeling, however, that I am a libertarian in the
truest sense of the word; id almost call myself a jeffersonian democrat.

Ah, you are a MICHIGAN libertarian. Thats entirely different. Michigan
libertarians actually are right wing, conservative bigots.
I know. I know at least a dozen of them.
If you were an actual libertarian, you would be concerned with the right
and the work of keeping your own back yard clean to your discression, and
you wouldnt give a shit about *anyone* elses.

And your point is what?
My point is that your analogy between cars and computers and transmissions
and operating systems is silly. Removing a transmission from a car is complex,
difficult, and requires special equipment. Removing an operating system from
a computer requires... uh, a CDROM drive, which they come with.
Do I expect Microsoft to behave any differently? Or any other company in
their position? No. That doesn't change the fact that your analogy stinks
on ice.

As far as using Windows, I do believe he *has* to, tho would rather not

Don't forget the new motherboard with appropriate bios to handle

This assumes you have empty DIMM slots, which isn't likely but
you can fix it with the new motherboard above.

Ah, so you were intentionally being dishonest about the RAM cost.
Try again with the real cost to add some EDO RAM to that machine
and tell us how long it takes you to get it working with that 80
gig drive you mentioned.

Thanks Mart that's somewhat clearer. So in the example above the
company could sell their colour plugin with GIMP if they advertised it
as "colour corr plugin, with each of these you get a free copy of GIMP
as it's useless without GIMP"?
The program I am thinking of is actually a library (3d modelling
library Svlis http://www.bath.ac.uk/~ensab/G_mod/Svlis/install.html).
Currently it is free and with a commercial license for commercial use.
The author is releasing it as 'copyleft' next release, I think using
GPL. So if I wrote a front-end 3D modeller GUI using this library
could I sell it commercially as long as I included the source to the
library? As far as I can tell the answer is no I am not free to do
that. What if I were to negotiate royalties with the author of the
library - can they do this or are they also bound by GPL?
