True, true:-)
There again (desperately trying to get on topic!) when you think FOSS v.
prop,, there's an old addage:-
"A dollar saved is a dollar earned"
Actually, I always thing it should be "A dollar saved is TWO dollars earned",
in that saving a dollar (or a million) means that you don't pay tax on
that "income", nor have the costs of earning it.
- and of course, that saving is then available to spend on something else.
e.g., use Linux/FOSS, and you can actually afford an even better machine on
which to run it!
