OK. Fair arguments. Linux is just not for you. At least you tried it. At
least you know that something else exists. You had free choice, and that
is more than most Windows or Mac users can ever say.
Perhaps you will use Free Software on Windows. A lot of Linux software is
also available for Windows and Mac, like OpenOffice.

Goodbye.


By the way, your message was not a technical question. Perhaps it was
better to post it on sounder at lists.ubuntu.com.
