*twitch, twitch* Don't take the following personally, as it's not directed toward you. This attitude will keep Linux obscure. Not every user is a programmer. This is how Microsoft has its market share. Make a computer work like a toaster. Intuitive interface and no need to understand the inner workings. This is the same thing that the automobile industry strives for. One can argue that MS isn't doing very well at this goal, but at least they're not asking all their users to be programmers. Furthermore, saying that source is the best documentation is simply an excuse that lazy programmers use. No, the documentation should be the best documentation. If you're too lazy to write actual docs describing how the software works and how to use it, you have a job waiting for you in the thriving field of tech support. I would simply hate to have to read code to determine how to use the software, and I have plenty of tech-savvy friends that are less tolerant than me. This is (arguably) not the way Linux is, and certainly not the way it should be. Chad Martin ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Get Bzzzy!
