At a time when budgets are so strained it is unfortunate that we spend so much public money on software licenses while open source (free) software such as Linux can do the same tasks. Think of the price of software for all public PCs in Texas! Think how much we could save with open sourced software alternatives. Please let me know your position on SB 1579.

Mankind. Basically, it's made up of two separate words---"mank" and "ind". What do these words mean? It's a mystery, and that's why so is mankind.
