No!!! Your analogy is all wrong - those with a disability have no choice,
the able-bodied can choose whether to use Linux or Windows. We have that
luxury.
In a later email to the list (I replied to Ben and the message went to the
German Debian User list) I wrote:
"An excellent piece of prose!! Cheers Ben - your arguments make a lot of
sense and I do agree with what you say. Maybe I hadn't realised the strong
connection between Microsoft and the non-display of certain web pages - I
suppose it is like the tip of an iceberg. I use Linux for all the reasons
you state and as head of ICT in a UK school I resist MS products where
possible. It could indeed be my cue to do something positive."
