Looking for new business oportunities

[Leslie Lewis]

Thanks for this interesting discussion, guys. I have nothing to offer but
have had a few Aha! moments reading your responses - especially Ken's:

The biggest barrier to the general adoption of linux has been, IMO, the fact
that most of us who have adopted it are naturally curious and willing to
endure some frustrations and problems to have a better end experience, or
even just for the new experience, and we cannot grasp why everyone else
doesn't feel/behave the same way.


I volunteer for a non-profit organization that gets by with donated (crappy)
computers and illegal copies of M$ software. I'd love to convert them to
FOSS, but I'm guilty of expecting them to be as willing to learn as I am -
and they simply don't have the time for that, let alone the interest. They
might be able to buy some hardware of their own soon, and I know they're
going with Windows if they do - damn, damn, damn! I hate to see them waste
their scarce resources, and I just don't know how to help. So keep on
talking, and maybe I'll get some ideas.

Leslie
