Hear, hear. If Lynne and Bill decide to take 6 months off to
visit the beach, I will
1) hate it
2) suffer the tortures of the dammned
3) say not a word of complaint. Nay, only praise.
People who complain about delivery schedules of freely redistributable
code (and who insist on referring to themselves as `customers') can
always whip out their chequebooks and purchase a copy of whatever OS
suits their fancy.
Customers, indeed. Faugh!
regards,
Ross
