S/he's out of touch with reality, assuming that the 'media' reflects on
merits and prevalence of technology. I recommend that Aunty puts hand in
toilet bowl, flushes (preferably twice) and ask Mr. Ballmer for a towel
(remember their recent initiative for stopping a mass departure?). Enough
with the brainwash. Linux will never glamorise itself. The world turns to
free nature (e.g. Internet) and embraces wisdom of the crowds, not streams
of newspapers and media-owned radio. Luckily, more and more people realise
this and hop on the bandwagon of freedom. The more you take away (think
Gutmann'srecent revelantions), the more greedy you become, the tighter you
wrap the noose around the your neck. Customer's don't like a squeeze. What
they hate even more is being miseld, i.e. be considered and perceived as
dumb sheep.
