Oh. Hope you had a blast. Wish I was there too; I work right nearby
(Foster City Blvd & 3rd Avenue) but did not know where the MS office
was. (And did not have a Windows product to return). :-(
There was a flower power image portrayed in the press -- of course an
exaggeration that I exaggerated even further. (Check out a couple of
references to 60's demonstrations and the Vietnam War at:
<http://www.mercurycenter.com/premium/front/docs/protest16.htm>)
Can't blame ESR for this of course, but OTOH the Open Source term has
come to be associated with his protest agenda. For better or worse.
Either way, I did not want to rant so much. Congratulations again to
Bruce for re-promoting "Free Software". :)
