John, do you want to write the software for Harold? Or should everyone
become a programmer just to use Linux? You mention that you are not a
programmer, so how do _you_ deal with programs that are not available
for Linux?

Harold's point is that the software that _he_needs_ is unavailable for
Linux. Not that there is a lack of software in general, but that there
is a lack of software that does what he needs.
