I Run Free Software

Listening to my favorite podcast, lugradio, makes me feel like I've sold out to the evil empire. Then I realized, hey, I run free software! It's called Windows. I have never paid penny #1 for it in seventeen years. OK, maybe its cost is embedded in the price of the hardware I buy. Well, most of those in the rabid Linux community have paid that same price. They just took the extra step of not using it after paying for it, then installing something that is often unsupported by major hardware vendors and makes their lives much more difficult. Their goals are more noble than mine. Mine largely entail getting my job finished every day.
