Thought you might find this interesting.

IBM, one of the chief corporate proponents of Linux just informed me of
the following facts:

Question: Can I upgrade Toppage for Windows to Homepage Builder for
Linux
(Homepage Builder is the new version of Toppage)

IBM: No, we don't offer that as an option. You can't do a cross OS
upgrade. You'll have to pay full price for the Linux version, but you
can
upgrade to the Windows version (which I DON'T want to do).

Question: So there's no option to upgrade ViaVoice98 for Windows to
ViaVoice for Linux.

IBM: No.

Wow- what a wonderful supporter of Linux. They're really encouraging
people to switch over on the desktop aren't they? ;-)

Maybe one of the Mandrake folks could give them a call and pound some
sense into them.

Anyone got a suggestion as to where I could post this so it would
embarrass IBM out of there stupid narrow-mindedness?

Sam
