there is one fundamental principle one follows in criticising/commenting on open source applications: the developer gets to choose his platform and his tools. It is counter productive to give long arguments about his choice. He is not going to change especially after putting in a hell of a lot of hard work. Criticise the application - tear it to pieces, but respect his choice of the colour he uses to paint his bike shed. -- regards Kenneth Gonsalves Associate NRC-FOSS http://nrcfosshelpline.in/web/ -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
