However, I am a graduate Economist who has studied corporate monopolistic practices, and have very little sympathy for any organization that engages in competitive practices such as those practiced by Microsoft. When any organization obtains control of over 90% of the desktop OS, and panders inferior server platforms strictly through marketing muscle and other preditory practices to the detrtement of superior products I will have a problem with them. Sorry to take it out on you but, nothing personal. Anyone with the most elementary knowledge of Economics will see through your arguments. Sorry, but I also don't have the time to teach micro economics 101 right now. However, I may wish to talk to you about purchasing some computer hardware at very competitive prices. That's for serious, and that's econ 101. Best regards, Frank To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
