I have no particular aversion to commercial software. As a student I can buy 10,000 CAD packages for 500 bucks. The only problem is that it is not available in source code for FreeBSD. I would love to see more stuff come out for FreeBSD. High end commercial stuff especially. Oracle, ProEngineer, CATIA. (in my dreams) SGI has some killer graphics apps that I would like to see on FreeBSD. I am averse to using an OS that is not stable and bomards me with adverts and slides in OS upgrades ... yada yada. I just get tired of invasiveness at all turns in society. I draw the line at my computer. There is just soooo much really good free stuff. I am so much more a proponent of free software that any interest I have in commercial stuff fades in comparison. (Espy since, because I am a student, I am broke. :)) Thank you, | Try some of this. It will show you where you're at.
