I knew from other people's use of Windows (I came up from Atari 8bit and
C= Amiga), that I wanted to give Microsoft's offering a wide berth.
Linux seemed the way to go. I've never looked back.

Tell me about it; I was getting guff from a car dealership until my
missus got involved (she's a solicitor) - She didn't even have to use
her line "I'm going to win this, so the sooner you get used to the idea
and give me what I'm entitled to, the easier it will be for all of us."

Most really, /really/ (financially) successful companies know that
marketing is how you make the money. That and, possibly, a good legal
department. A nice logo is good idea too. It's no accident that
Amazon's logo has smile/arrow running from A->z, for example.

I overlooked that, but yes, good point. Figures of 90% coverage (for
whatever 'they' are talking about) refers to the population of the
country, not the geographic area covered.
