And this relates to US politics how exactly? Judy

Just had a painful conversation with a Bank of Scotland representative to set up online banking; the fact that the service representative, every time I said I work with Mac and Linux told me "never mind, just use Internet Explorer" cost me an extra 15 minutes of international rates. Those 'silly' people have just lost another customer who will be transferring his (very small) savings to HSBC, who are 'cool' with all platforms, including RISC OS 5. 3-4 years ago I produced a modest program for pre-High School kids to bone up on their Bulgarian literature (this is what is called 'a niche market'). Discs that contained standalones for Debian-derivatives as well as Windows ones were returned with complaints (the feeling was that because they had Linux standalones on them, as well as Windows one this, somehow meant they wouldn't work on Windows). Both of the above are things that happened as a result of software decisions; one by the HBOS and one by myself. Now these may not be 'Political' in the sense of politics, but they are political insofar as they affect other people, marketing and so on.
