Good thought. Let me offer my own 0.02$ -- how about "tochna kovelet" (to differentiate from "tochna hofshit", which is better IMHO then "tochna ptukha" -- see GNU site). > 3.

If it does go on the IGLU site, I'd like to reiterate my reservation about putting a small note that these are only the author's opinions -- I, for one, would not like to be associate with the phrase "if you decide to buy an expensive OS...or worse, copy it illegally" (let me suggest -- "if you decide copying a software from a friend who shares it with you or worse, paying money to a software hoarder [Oger Tokhna] for it") If we make sharing sound like a virtue, people will realize being made criminals when they do it is immoral and rebel. Let us try adopting the views of the non-free world, especially while we struggle with it for the hearts and minds of the masses. ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
