Correction:  DOES everyone agree yet that Bill Gates is rich enough? 
 Wrong syntax...
I'm not wanting to convert everyone over to linux, I just want to learn 
more about operating systems, networking, programming, and all the good 
things that make computers do what they do.  Since M$ users can't easily 
take a "peek at the code" to learn more about programming (like it is 
some secret that 99% of the population couldn't possibly understand), 
then there is Open Source and linux, users can learn and admire the 
code.  The Open Source programmers wrote the code for fun and to help 
other programmers, not to be the richest people in the world.  I admire 
the Open Source programmers for sharing their skill and not being greedy 
for money.  I just hope that the public doesn't take advantage of Open 
Source's generosity and belittle the streamlined and useful programs 
that Open Source has to offer.
