Thanks for posting the URL, on the Open Source Essay.

The obvious consideration about this Essay is the diversity of
factual data. I often discount arguments for OSS (Open Software)
because they are filled with "emotional appeal" and little substance
(please see some of R. Stallmans past rhetoric).

However, this essay has a lot of "heavy duty" numbers in it, that are easily
traceable or discernable, even by  those with low or selective computer
literacy.

This is a must read for any Linux Fan (or geek), or
members of the Open Source community,
or even those trying to find
truth in this topsy - turvy economy.


My apologies if you have seen this before ...
