    ...they don't make their progs Open Source !
    Now that's prolly asking too much, considering how much money they prolly invested in those apps....

    Now what would be interesting would be to know why they chose Linux:
    * price
    * open sourceness
    * existing tools on it
    * stability
    * no precise reason except it's cool
    * other reason
    (almost forgot that option:)
    * CowboyNeal computes all effects on paper

    What's incredible is that Linux is being used to CREATE all these movies, yet it's still not legally allowed to VIEW them.
    Funny eh?
