I'm not a fanatic and I try to look at everything with insight and use common
sense...
How come a freedom-loving user is a 'fanatic' if he/she refuses to install
non-free software? I understood you already had a working free wifi dongle to
use with your toughbook.
If otherwise, this person would be a hypocrite. It'd be like going to
Anonymous Alcoholics, and after a session go to the nearest bar round the
corner and get drunk.
I understand a fanatic would refuse to ever touch non-free dongl even if
there were no other alternatives. Using non-free is not going to kill anybody
but reverting to it after having a solution at hand is something else.
