    You bring up a good point.

    I think the ultimate, best-case solution to this would be if software development companies would make the source code for their products available to the general public. Maybe they could call it "Open Source," or something along those lines. Yeah, that's got a nice ring to it.

    That way, instead of just bitching on a message board that a free product doesn't work exactly the way someone wants it to, they could step up to the plate and actually show the world how they could make a better product.

    Won't that be the day.
