Around here, the buck stops here, and even though the answer is sometimes that I can't or won't do something about a particular problem, I'd still rather be running FreeBSD because at least I have a chance to be able to do something about a problem. > unfortunatly we're seeing more and more of this elsewhere in the world too.. A new generation of computer users, with a total lack of regard for what has been done by others, yet expect all those same great things to be handed to them on a silver platter... That sort of falls back to the "support" issue. Even here at work, people don't understand why it is when they find a bug in a GNU tool, I suggest to them that they find and fix the problem, and submit a bug report and patch.. ...
