Then I found out that using a free OS saved me enough to buy music. Free isn't so much an issue, as it is the issue of eXtreme Pricing. Why get an upgraded OS, when all of your previously bought software will not work on it correctly. I would rather have a free system. Where each vendor (or supplier, being it is free), also upgrades key applications that are supplied in thier distributions. If a change is made, usually the programs recieve a timely upgrade. An exception to a timely upgrade of a critical OS change was Real Audio, (when Redhat went from version 5.2 to version 6.0.) But there was no such problem that I have seen, since that time. About your personal attack in reference to me being a moron and our IS department being chimps. I would agree with the IS department being degreed in VCR programming. But, I have a higher degree of confidence in my intellectual level. So no offense taken. Later, Jim King_Dovregubben wrote: > What "financial aspect"?
