• Mike does not mean free software when he says open source — he means open source…
• Michael wants to know if I think that Macs have become popular with developers because that is what their employers buy — ie would they spend the same money themselves?
• Kostas writes in re the open-source business models: “In my opinion the only people who can afford to experiment with this are people whose lives don\’t depend on the revenue from their software. That leaves just hobbyists and college students”
• Mike has been learning Python and wants to know what GUI toolkit to use
• David needs to buy a new PC and wants to know if I recommend a laptop or desktop.
