Just to say it, Corel Office for Linux was put out in 2002.

That was the year the Pentium 4 came out, which was wildly adopted. The
smallest possible machine anyone used it on was a PII and they were an
aging bunch at that point, over 5 years old. my servers are running
Duron 850 chips, about that same power as I recall.

Yes. read Kenneth Galbraith and the works of Edward L. Bernays. Gilbrath is
an economist who is one of the 4 keystone contributers to that field along
with Adam Smith, Milton Friedman and John Maynard Keynes. In fact, the
rise of the consumer ecomomy was the key economic driving force behind the
development of the middle class. For that see Eugene Weber, Historian.

Let me quote a small review of Galbraith:

"The Dependence Effect

According to Galbraith, modern capitalism is dominated by large enterprises and characterized by an abundance of contrived wants that are the product of corporate planning and massive advertising:

As a society becomes increasingly affluent, wants are increasingly created by the process by which they are satisfied.... Wants thus come to depend on output. In technical terms, it can no longer be assumed that welfare is greater at an all-round higher level of production than at a lower one. It may be the same. The higher level of production has, merely, a higher level of want creation necessitating a higher level of want satisfaction. There will be frequent occasion to refer to the way wants depend on the process by which they are satisfied. It will be convenient to call it the Dependence Effect.[18]

It is not consumers who are sovereign in the modern industrial system, but rather the gigantic firms that produce and market goods and services. "

Except, it's not a small point. People spend 25K a semester at Stern
Business School to learn this. Its the cornerstone of business and essential
to an indiviuals ability to undertand the basic economic facts of what
happens around them. Everyone is in business, right? If your going to
work for web advertising company, it might help to understand what they're
selling, how they might succeed, and why they might fail.

What - Consummers are lazy and don't even go to the library to even
read about a 20 million dollar investment in an objective fashion?

No kidding? People but computer systems as if they're shopping for

I do do something about it. I can't even tell you any more how many
people I've put onto GNU. It's gotten past the point that I can count.

And every couple of years a new generation of technophile kids come
around and shoot the product in the foot with their "objective"
analysis of of the computing economy.

It's everything when it comes to the failure of universal GNU adoption.

No, its because I can't AGAIN just abaandon a 140K income to take a
volunteer position marketing GNU like I did when I started NYLXS. Nor
can I afford to start a new career at 40K as a PR intern to market

Everywhere. Try Googling for Linux Windows Integration. Lindows was a prime
example, followed by Ximian, Novel, Cadera, and more.
