I already mentioned that you can't make an electronic tax declaration, you can't read ID cards and perhaps all kinds of other public authorities stuff in Germany without a proprietary OS. There are other reasons too. Sure, we don't need any OS to survive, we could live without computers, in times when even Amish goods are sold by the Internet. "The Mission of Amish.Net The Company is to manage Amish.Net The Website as a one stop Portal for anyone in the world to obtain information about the Amish, to purchase Amish Made goods and/or to arrange tourism services in America’s Amish Country, all from the convenience of their home or business, via The Net. More than 50% of America’s households are now wired for the Net and Asia and Europe are growing at a fast rate. People worldwide are increasingly using the Net to buy goods and services and make travel arrangements and find and book accommodations. These are sophisticated people who use the Net to seek out unique and new kinds of products and search for new adventures in places that they’ve not visited before, right here at Amish.Net!" - http://www.amish.net/about.asp http://www.amishshop.com/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
