No, sorry, I wasn't clear -- my point was the opposite. For almost everything I do (except sending email and writing prose) -- music for example -- I have to put together bits and pieces of programs, whether they're open-source or not. Since a lot of the grunge time goes (of course) into getting the programs to work together in either case, and since the commercial ones are generally *harder* to combine, the attraction of open-source solutions mounts up pretty quickly.

But I think I'm off-topic. Sorry.

Charles,

Notwithstanding your experience and not sure of Jim's intention, I can attest to doing the 'multiple free program shuffle' many times. For instance to create a VCD from home videos took at least 5 free programs, so I just broke down and bought Nero which worked great.

best,

Chipp

Are you saying this is a difference between open-source and commercial software? That sure isn't my experience.
