Sometimes yes, Sometimes no. Usually
Think "hearts and minds". People who get used to using something at home (this
is particularly true of teenagers and other students) often want to have it at
work as well.
This was how windows won the desktop wars; everyone pirated windows 3.1 up one

You want enough battery time to start the generators, and fix the generators
and pumps that may possibly fail. (And you definately want to make sure you
have redundant fuel pumps for each generator.)

Well, certainly can't argue with that logic. That's exactly why I refused to
*waste my time* with all the other OSes out there. I did two "rounds" of Linux

better, as in step-by-step, but what I wrote was after the fact, and next day
