| weekend can never happen to you using Free Software -- not unless
| you start compromising and deciding you can't live without
| proprietary, closed binary drivers and codecs and all that
| jazz. Mr. Alepin's testimony is important to stress, I think,
| so we don't forget that with closed software, you are not in the
| driver's seat.
