Boy I don't understand this at all. You say that we should punish a company for making a living from the goods that their employees make ?
Whats next ? Are you going to put the corner convenience store out of business because they make a living selling their goods ? Folks, if there isnt a living to be made from it, or the person derives personal satisfaction from their hobbies, then nothing will happen anywhere in the world. I mean, look at yourself. You work because you need income to provide for your family. You do hobbies because you derive personal satisfaction from it Virgil Bierschwale http://www.tccutlery.com http://www.bierschwalesolutions.com -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Charlie Coleman Sent: Tuesday, December 05, 2006 10:51 AM To: ProFox Email List Subject: Re: [NF] -- Hell yes to virtualization!

Home User. I think you're right Michael. But that is PRECISELY why every computer professional out there with a moral backbone needs to do everything in their power to move customers off MS products. Now. Today. It will take a time and it will be difficult, but it's gotta be done if we want computers to be useful in the future. The thing is, MS may not have to be utterly destroyed - if they recognize droves leaving their OS, they might actually change their tune (he says hopefully, but not holding his breath). -Charlie [excessive quoting removed by server] _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
