To be honest, I haven't had a chance to read through it myself. I'll see what I can find out and let you know. Barnaby

Just goes to show what a stink-load of money can buy you. Would be nice to see someone with big bucks (other than IBM & Novell) start fighting for open source and start throwing some marketing clout behind it. Hmmm....lets see what we can do to convert Steve Balmer kids? ;-) I would be interested in seeing what Barnaby has to say on this. Seeing as Bill & Steve sign his cheques I would imagine he has to tow the party line, but seeing as he came from open source It would be interesting. _______________________________________________ clug-talk mailing list [email protected] http://clug.ca/mailman/listinfo/clug-talk_clug.ca Mailing List Guidelines (http://clug.ca/ml_guidelines.php) **Please remove these lines when replying
