Around here we are evenly divided between the fondness for what a
positive cash flow can do and abhorrence for all that is Micro$oft. So
we are more likely to show a client how to do something with free
software (as in speech {there are times I wish Richard Stallman had kept
his mouth shut and let someone else pick the terminology}) while
explaining the wonderful nature of sharing and building knowledgable
communities, etc...

As several clients are having more and more trouble with the inability
to get what they want from a box from Redmond, it makes a transition
easier. Current week: convert manufacturing group from Quickbooks to
Sql-Ledger. Good project. Good application. Loads of capabilities with
linking with OpenOffice.org. Works better with Firefox that any other
browser yet.
