Good point open source as political correctness I suspect has already 
been discussed? I really should find some time for browsing the 
archives.

I wonder about ableism and Linux? I mean if someone can't use Linux 
does that make them less of a human being? Certainly in my book no less 
worthy of what digniity I can offer them. But I can still strongly 
suggest they try hard to use Linux which is what I do.

of course this will use up lots of time to discuss.
