Mine either. You can't fix 'stupid' with free software. Darwin always
wins. What does courting 'stupid' with free software accomplish? I
don't think the answer is as idealistic as some might think. If Mac and
Windows can control 'stupid', so can free software. And the egos of
those seeking to lure those users? Well that's classic psych 101. What
to say, I'm old and cynical . . .
