hmm....the power of advertising.  

in my shop (which is a lawfirm),
the people don't care to know 
about computers, other than as
a tool for doing their work. 

most were weaned on m*$* so 
they've become myopic (or have 
become a victim of inertia) 
when it comes to better, more 
efficient (open-source) ap-
proaches. 

basically, m*$* is all they've
ever heard of.  (this will 
change; but it'll take some
time as bad habits are hard
to break.)
