Indeed it is, but I think it's not out of order to tell the converted that 'A little bird has told me' that they are just beginning to twig-on to the open source way. Remember that, for NZ, they are quite a large software house which up until now has been ideologically ( and probably contractually too ) trapped in the Microsoft Way. However my little bird has been gently demonstrating the power of the free world. Remember it takes quite a long time for a bunch of pretty conservative PHBs to work out how to convert software freedom into hard cash. To say nothing of persuading the staff, 99% of whom have never touched *BSD or Linux, that this upstart o/s produced by a bunch of undisciplined longhaireds is actually worth considering at all. -- Sincerely etc., Christopher Sawtell
