[Tarus Balog]

Gang:

We just found out about this:

0,294802,sid7_tax306257_ayr2007,00.html

We're incredibly excited, since this was based on a user survey and  
not a marketing study. It's amazing what an active open source  
community can accomplish against companies like IBM and HP.

Sorry if I sound like I'm blowing my own horn here, but five years  
ago I bet my farm on open source and TriLUG was a large part of that  
decision. You guys kept me sane when I was struggling with this alone  
in my attic. Open source is all about the community, and that is one  
thing you just can't buy. Thanks for making this possible.
