Thanks, I did NOT know that.
I agree with your sentiments, entirely. I also try to use Linux
wherever possible, but for me it's just not possible to do without
Windows (yet). For example:
I use Nikon Capture, and this is a MAJOR piece of software that has no
equivalent in Linux.
Or in voice recognition, IBM ViaVoice or Dragon NaturallySpeaking....
On top of that, there are many devices that just do not have any
drivers for Linux: my Casio CD printer, Seiko Label printer USB
version, Olympus Digital voice recorder....
It's very frustrating, because every day I learn more and more how
much better the GNU/Linux system is, from the ground up, in hundreds
of ways that are not obvious.
Anyway, Steve, there's some feedback for your knowledgebase;-).
