Clearly you're not *au fait *with the banking situation in England for businesses getting loans from banks. Many of them state-owned now because of the fall out from the US sub-prime mortgage idiocy they still don't loan to businesses.
But you miss the point. I don't want to own a machine that runs Windows in order to compensate for the idiocy of those who do and use Publisher in the mis-gotten belief that it is a DTP application. Oh and for the few times a year when I get PUB files I could use even the small amount of money to be spent of a Windows machine on better things ... right now contributing to the Pakistan flood appeal.
