You are right when you view it from an individual basis. (If you (or I) want the best results from Linux, we usually need to consider problems to be our responsibility and look for solutions in areas which we have control over.) However, some people have made a fair amount of money by looking from the other perspective. (Some guy named Gates comes to mind. ;-) Disclaimer: I am not a Microsoft fan (I was for awhile, around the time of Word 1.0 and so forth), nor a fan of Bill Gates' / Microsoft's ethics or business practices -- I'm just reminding myself that they have been fairly successful to date. I want to see Linux be an effective competitor to Microsoft *on the desktop*. To do that, I believe we need more looking at things from the other perspective, fixing things to make life easy for the user. regards, Randy Kramer
