Snip chop hack cut tear rip etc. I am not living in the past at all (and infact sometimes wonder wether a faster change will actually be benefical given the fact that vast swathes of our population can barely afford a square meal). Just want to point out the absolute value of freedom as compared to relative values of usability, performance etc. Also my point abt superhuman capabilities. Hats off to those who succeedd in building world class companies (N. Murthy) as opposed to those who just manipulated the system (Reliance?) or lived because of protection (ECIL, Bel, BHEL). Very luckily we did have relatively much greater freedom than the soviets and chinese, which is why many good techies are able to do well now (unlike the soviet techies selling watermelons or working for the mafia). rgds jtd -- http://mm.ilug-bom.org.in/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
