Your own principle or my principle? If you do not have steadfast principles, you don't know who you are. If you have principles you violate, they are not your principles, they are just temporary conveniences to make you feel good. > It's good that ideologies exist, so that we have frames of reference > for talking to eachother. > Actions are the best way to talk to each other.

I think ideology is just seeing beyond superficiality. It is always convenient and practical to use free software. If you choose not to do it because you don't want to make the effort now, you will pay for it in the future with money, dependency and/or unjust conditions imposed onto you and others you pull along with you. It is your decision to do it now or procrastinate. Of course you can take small steps. But a small step will not install more non-free software. A small step will always remove non-free software, regardless of how much free software you install. Otherwise, it is big a step backwards. -- Saludos libres, Quiliro Ordóñez Presidente (en conjunto con el resto de socios) Asociación de Software Libre del Ecuador - ASLE Av de la Prensa N58-219 y Cristóbal Vaca de Castro Quito, Ecuador (02)-600 8579 IRC: http://webchat.freenode.net?channels=asle&uio=OT10cnVlJjEwPXRydWU3a Todo correo que reciba será tratado como información pública, de libre copia y modificación, sin importar cualquier nota de confidencialidad.
