Okay, so I'm a UNIX-head; I forgot about the Macs (a dangerous thing to do, given the ferocity of their supporters). If the government were to adopt my suggestion, two major results would be:
- The third party market for Linux software would grow rapidly and enormously. - The government's software budget would be reduced dramatically.
that's OK, we Mac-heads have MacLinkPlus translators, we just get em to write another half dozen or so translators for Linux and Linux file system recognitions to the OS, no big deal ... we have always prided ourselves that MacOS often reads and processes Windoze documents better than WinDoze does ...
