And when I lived in the States, yeah, all my life $40 bux wasn't a bad
price for anything - but now I've come to realize that $40US is
literally $80AUD - so here, we try NOT to buy as much as we can - and
getting Mandrake out of a magazine was a good way of getting "marketing
done" for our particular population...

I fully agree that money should go to Mandrake and the other
companies...but we can't market linux - we can market PACKAGES...
