/me sees my opportunity to rant.  Are we all doing our part?  Are we spending money with FOSS-friendly companies?  Are we doing all we can NOT to use the products that are made and sold by FOSS-unfriendly companies?  Are we choosing Quake over Half-Life, Evolution over Outlook, RHEL over Windows Server, OOo over MSO, and above all, Linux over Windows?  Not all the time, but whenever possible?  Money talks and BS walks.  Stolen is the most expensive.  If you're stealing Microsoft's products, you're endorsing them at the highest possible cost, your mind-share, and your honor.  Etcetera.  :-)
