Hello Tom - 

TW>>> I am sure there are lots of peopel that woudl "Jump Ship"
TW>>> if there was a "Realistic" alterniative to Microsoft. Adn
TW>>> before one of hte LIunx Fans jumps in Even Linspire is
TW>>> NOT a "Realistic Alterniative" as yet. And it's failure
TW>>> to work with my "Best Data" Hardware Internal Modeem is
TW>>> one example. BUT it is a start and has possabilities. 

CA>> Exactly - it is a start. That Linspire continues to exist
CA>> should be an inspiration. Undermining that attempt by
CA>> discouraging people from paying for any part of it will
CA>> only bring Linspire to an end and have the reverse effect. 

TW> Taht is correct. I hear lots of Bashing of linspire becaseu
TW> of their methods. But again I wil say "There is NO SUCH
TW> thing as a free Lunch" IT takes Money to develop anytho9ng.
TW> an Operating System is NO dofferent. I am puzzled though.
TW> Did these same people crying about it should be free ever
TW> read the GNU licence? OR how loud do they cry about Red Hat
TW> and others that charge for their Distribution?? 

Now I'm puzzled. Why are you in favor of bypassing payment to
Linspire for the CNR function if you believe "There is NO SUCH
thing as a free Lunch"?
