True. True.

Good question.

For me, considering my primary PC is now FreeBSD (freeware), Mozilla Browser
(freeware) Mozilla Mail (freeware), XMMS, XFCE (window manager), etc... you
can see that 99% of my deskware is freeware... and I don't think any of it
is crap. The only thing I've paid for (well, not the FreeBSD version, yet,
but soon!!!) is EUPHORIA. It's cheap, but it's AWESOME!!!! :)

Anyway, my two cents. Can I have my change?
