When Goa volunteers contacted Microsoft in the late 1990s, they weren't interested in talking. When they realised that FLOSS (Free/Libre and Open Source Software) was making quick inroads here, they brought in the gift horse post haste. And I'm not suggesting you have a FLOSS movement just to bring down Microsoft's (unreasonable) prices. - FN -- ------------------------------------------------------------- Frederick 'FN' Noronha | [EMAIL PROTECTED] Co-Founder, BytesForAll.org | http://fn.swiki.net Goa, India | +91(832)2409490 Cell 9822122436 ------------------------------------------------------------- ------------ ***GKD is solely supported by EDC, a Non-Profit Organization*** To post a message, send it to: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To subscribe or unsubscribe, send a message to: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.
