While we are getting more and more philosophical about the origin
question, I am wondering if the Cyber Cafe as we used to think of is
not dying anyways. At least the fact, that somebody is renting out
hardware that runs with a specific operating system and you as
customer are charged by the time
The Ubuntu Developers clearly have no understanding of this sector of
technology and the IT industry and that sector being
digital/photographic imaging. And if they did, they would ditch F-Spot
and replace it with a suitable and real image management package.

Such statements make me feel like I want to run away and kiss Apple's
