But actually there is something in FLOSS that I think does sometimes make for more stable software, if less featured - there's no money to be made in fixing bugs. Mind you, my usual response to anyone asking me why I work with FLOSS is that I got fed up of paying for software that doesn't work properly - we've got all our own shit that doesn't work properly, but at least I don't feel like I've been screwed over. ;-) Best wishes, Neil -- Neil C Smith Artist & Technologist www.neilcsmith.net Praxis LIVE - hybrid visual IDE for creative coding - www.praxislive.org
