>>                                                  THIS MONTH:
>>
>>         Topic: Linux applications to replace Windows
>>             applications
>>
>>         Presenter: Greg Canter
>>
>>
>>     Greg Canter will lead a discussion of replacing Windows on the
>>     everyday user's desktop.  Greg will cover his journey that began
>>     nearly a year and a half ago when he decided to replace Windows
>>     on his desktop with the Linux equivalents.  From first deciding
>>     what is needed through choosing among the many options that are
>>     present in the Linux community, to finally going without Windows
>>     products, Greg will present the steps he took to wean 
>> himself            off of "The Redmond Distro" to some of the broader 
>> facets of his
>>     decision and how it affected his outlook on computing and his
>>     job as a programmer.
>>
>>     Emphasis will be on making decisions based on "the best tool for
>>     the job" and understanding the whys of conversion as many
>>     efforts fail because of a lack of understanding for the basis of
>>     decisions. A thorough "laundry list" of Linux replacement        
>> programs as well as a coverage of the various Linux
>>     distributions will also be presented, though the discussion will
>>     focus on enabling people to make their own decisions rather than
>>     push a single distro or single solution.  Greg will present the
>>     reasoning behind his choices and the various advantages as well
>>     as the disadvantages of those choices - and with the added
>>     benefit of hindsight.
>>
>>
>>     Greg Canter is a programmer in the Kennesaw area who has been
>>     using Linux/OpenBSD for the past year and a half.  He has been
>>     programming in the Atlanta area for the last 6 years.  He is a
>>     firm believer in Open Source and considers himself extremely
>>     lucky to finally be doing professionally what was once "just a
>>     fun hobby".

I didn't have to buy my radio from a specific company to listen
to FM, why doesn't that apply to the Internet (anymore...)?
