You didn't include that phrase. But if you were to sum up what that
article was about it's basically an article about 'why people like
Linux.' If you re-read what I wrote you'll see that I didn't attribute
that to you but to the magazine. I specifically said 'survey done by a
Linux magazine that tells us why people like Linux."
Anyhow, I finished my last cup of coffee and I need to go now. My wife
and daughters get home from vacation today and the
kitchen/bathroom/bedroom/entire-house is a mess. I need to clean up
before they get back and make it look civilized.
