Also, some OSS tools are as goods as, or even better than, their commercially-available equivalents. I think that it's important to combat the perception that OSS apps are in some way "difficult" to install and use (who wouldn't be scared off the first time they see a message like "Install Binary from tar.gz" for example). If neophytes can move past the sometimes initially steep learning curve associated with OSS programs, they usually find them very powerful, adaptable and satisfying tools. -- We do, Ken.

We need to keep driving these and supporting them. <b>Catchya later</b> Kia ora e Michael!
