Sounds like *your* software wasn't open-source. Maybe that was the problem all along and why the "Arts organization" dropped you in favor of your open source company.
I think you diden't bother to read my post. You fetish for asses is anoother issuer that I'll leave for later.
Or a different reason - the fact that manufacturers in the US be successfully sued by customers even when the customer has been a dumbass?
Agreed. That was my point - American consumers have grown accustomed to blaming paroduct problems on everybody but themsemves. There's been several cases of idiot American climbers tying their harneses in inproperly and blaming the manufacturer.
You mention 'asses' again though. You might want to consider getting therapy.
The miniature laptops I saw just rocked, and I can't believe they wouldn't sell in the US.
Miniaturizes Japanese product wouldn't survive our warranty expectations here in the us.
For an example:
Japanese Consumer: Drops mini-laptop onto concrete and it breaks. He cries, but then buys another.
American Consumer: Drops mini-laptop onto concrete and it breaks. He cries, calls the manufacturer a demands a replacement, gets none, called the Better Business people and gripes. He then procedes to tell his friends that product "X" is a piece of junk. He get his credit card company to issue a charge back.
There's a lot of hiking/climbing gear that never makes it to the US from Europe and Japan for the same reason.
Even if you use all Windows - if you choose hardware that has multiple platform support, chances are it's of much higher quality.
Examples:
Win-modems vs Hardware Modems Prism chipset WLAN hardware vs all the other crap. USB Drives that are true USB Storage Devices and don't need drivers vs proprietary crap that needs special drivers. PCL 4/5/6 Laser Printers vs the cheep crap where the drivers do all the work.
If is says Linux/Mac on the box - smile and pop it into your Windows box with good results.
One reasonable accommodation between evl and a belief of a god is: Perhaps god is lazy - and just set the wheels of evolution in motion.
In fact, if god exists he/she/it acts like I did when I got my fist Sim City game - I micro managed everything for a while, then flooded it and released the monsters - then I got bored an let the thing run by itself.

PS - How do you get back in your car while refueling? Don't you need to squeeze the handle of the pump in the US?
In the US - There's usually a little peice of metal that you can flip to lock the handle in the squeezed position. So you squeeze the hande, flip the metal and can walk away and do other things.... like build up a static charge.
The best place for buiness logic in in Access Macros!!! It's even better when you have access link to Excell tables for it's data!!!!
Don't use Access Visual Basic - clippy will come down hard on you!!!! Macros are where it's at!!! Marcos are even unicode compliant - so localisation is really EZ!!!!!
DONT USE ACCESS 2000/XP/2003 - it's buggy!!! Aceess 2.0 or 97 is where all the stable apps are!!!!
WORD 97 has great macro support too - don't be afraid to put some business logice there.
There's a rounding bug in Access that you can use to get more money out of your customers!!!! It inflates the sales tax - keep the change!!! You deserve it!!!!
Stay with Novell.... basically because Active Driectory is a one-platform one-trick pony.
Active Driectory is like having a diesel car when everybody else has regular cars - you're stuck buying your diesel from the truck stop, where everybody else can fuel up where they'd like.
Plus AD sucks - it's getting better, in the same way Windows XP is beter than Windows 98 - it just sucks a little bit less.

If they we happy with you, why did they switch?
for the internationally-impaired, the tour is in the UK.

We American have never fought a war with UK so that why I don't know where it's at.

I don't think anyone I know knows anyone who's been mugged...
FWIW... England and France both have higher crime rates than either Canada or America.

Paul Allan also has trouble getting laid normally.
Some of his victims fight back in court though More info
He 'settled out of court' - kinda like Michael Jackson 'settled out of court.'
Paul is also the "gentleman" who bough a summer camp from under the kids, kicked them out, and built a trophy house on the land.
More info
It's kinda like an "Ernest goes to Camp" but with a bad ending.
I tired of "white-collar" crime that ruins family, lives, and dreams getting such light punishment.
A ghetto-born man who kills a police officer gets executed.
A suburb-born CPA that ruins the retirements of thousands of families gets a slap on the
wrist.
It's not fair, just, or right.
How about an PowerPC Apple powerook with Linux installed?

You can get Efax to send faxes as Tiff attachements.
My account is setup that way - in Windows the Microsoft Picture and Fax viewer does a great job - KDE will open them just fine as well.
Please stay here.
I'd hate to see a good person leave this good country.
This country is yours, please help make it better.

Microware OS-9 should be in there - it's UNIX like, in that it can do everything UNIX can do....
Came out atoun '84 if I remember correctly - Multitasking, Multi user - with an add on multiple windowed graphical shell.
OS-9 is still used in a lot of set-top-boxes and was used be Phillips's CD-i
Wasent the MSX standard in Japan just this - a set of standards that companies could build their game- system to play MSX cartridges.

It gets the job done better, and in the end that's what counts
I've used many peices of software that have gotten "the job done better."
And, I've been burned too many times to count when the company that makes the software changes focus or goes out of business.
Free Software, for me, is great insulation from forced migrations, "upgrades" and unsupported software.
There are NO icebears in Antarctica
There is now! All the ones that failed their ID check by crying too much.
