I knew a guy who only drove old Renaults. He did this, because he knew he could fix them. The cars had presented him many occaisions on which he was able to prove this.
I, on the other hand, drive Audis, because I beleive I'll never have to fix them. So far, I've not been proved wrong.
My argument is neutral to the kind of software - what I want is software that just works. Your argument does OSS an injustice, becuase it implies its an old Renault.
Mind you, in the case of MySQL, your probably right. - Posted by: TheTruthisOutThere@... Posted on: 08/21/08 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
