A South African system administrator went shopping recently and
found that as the cost of computer hardware has dropped dramatically, the cost of proprietary software has risen even more dramatically.
"The fact that a vendor can pull a product right out from under you
and replace it with a more expensive one is a strong argument in favor
of the open source office suite, OpenOffice. My software dealer
suggested it to me, even though he doesn't make money on the product.
He's so unhappy with Microsoft's antics that he's taken to suggesting
OpenOffice as an alternative. It's clearly time for a change."
