| schestowitz | Quote Consider it to be a bonus to have proprietary software on their systems - which do you find most useful ? and what price was it ? | Aug 24 22:23 |
| schestowitz | Did you ever get the software to pay for itself ..... and how do you do that with a game ? | Aug 24 22:23 |
| schestowitz | " | Aug 24 22:23 |
| schestowitz | " | Aug 24 22:23 |
| schestowitz | I'm pretty sure it's the games themselves that are considered to be the bonus, not the fact they are proprietary. | Aug 24 22:23 |
| schestowitz | Equally, I presume you consider the fact you have hardware to run your free software on a bonus, rather than the fact that it was most-likely produced under horrendous conditions that cannot be considered ethical with any stretch of the imagination. | Aug 24 22:23 |

| schestowitz | " | Aug 24 22:24 |
| schestowitz | Now that is a point I did forget ...... the hardware - the parts themselves were probably made by machine or slave labour ..... much like my computer put together by another slave of this society we live in - me they were horrendous conditions too. | Aug 24 22:24 |
| schestowitz | Which hardware company is ethical though ....... Asus or Acer ? | Aug 24 22:24 |
