[ILUG] Linux taking over MS

[Silvan Delaney]

As a home-base user i didn't think ofthe "bigger" picture.
I do agree with you say, and just wanted to add, that there are a lot of
people who are not connected to any IT companies or such like.
And i only replyed to your message, which came to me off- list.
