How rich are you?

In our world, software is just as important as steel was 100 years ago. Who owns the software is the key to your riches just like smeltering plants were many years ago. With Linux costing nothing, how can people not feel rich. Linux people don't have to worry about paying next years fees, just to access their data. Linux programmers don't want money. They, like me, are passionate about freedom. Freedom to use your data year after year. No need to ask permission from some company. To make money they form communities. Ebay is the biggest and Grant's site is probably the smallest. I am part of the Ubuntu community. It does not cause my gross income to increase but my expenses are less due to less software expenses. Thanks Ubuntu, I can now do what the big boys do with out the software costs.

Information Freedom / Choice

A lot of my friends and family's patience have been wearing thin over my preaching about Linux. I want the thank those of you who have help me and others get Linux to a place to take on Microsoft. Yes at the end of this month Linux will take on Microsoft -- it can be preinstalled on your choice of Dell computer. http://www.desktoplinux.com There no longer has to be a Micro$oft tax every time you buy a computer. Join with me and buy only Linux compatible hardware! You will be glad you did. Computers in 1982 when IBM release the x86 architecture were fun but then Microsoft took over and dispatched the Information Police to watch over every move we make, which somehow made it all sort of dreary and totalitarian. Now computers are fun again. The age of enlightenment has arrived. Thanks Richard Stalman and Linus Trovolds
