Indeed. To generalize, it actually pays to know about the alternative software packages that provide similar, if not the same, services. With Free Software and Open Software, we do have a wide selection to choose from. And it is this availability of choices, this freedom that enables us to be more flexible in our solutions. This is one of the best reasons to keep on trying new software! :) If we turn a blind eye to what else is out there, then we're missing all the possibilities that they bring with them. Of course, we don't have all the time in the world to try them -all- out, so it does make sense to try a number of them and then choose the best fit. This isn't a marriage either, so we can easily stick with one, all the while trying out others from time to time. If another program comes along that is more suitable, there is nothing that really binds us to the first choice. Well, there will be "emotional" as well as time investment to deal with, but... :) we're after what works best for us. -- ___ eric pareja ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) User #8159 http://counter.li.org \e/ [ Chiba City: A Cyberpunk MUSH - http://chibacity.erisian.net ] GNU/Linux v [ Philippine Linux Users' Group + http://plug.linux.org.ph ] Software & [ IRC /join #plug @irc.free.net.ph every evening 10pm onwards ] Freedom "...the symbol is nothing.
