When I recently registered arslinux.net I created a "Carte dvisit"
(business card in English) to hand out with my new e-mail address. A
friend to whom I gave the card asked me if I knew a good pop-up blocker.
It surprised me that he still didn't know about Mozilla! So I've decided
to use the back of the card to try to educate those I meet.
Now, I know this doesn't say anything about Free Software (and most of
the programs listed aren't) but it's all I can fit on the back of a
standard 3inx2.5in card, even with 7 pt. type.
I'll consider the card successful if they accept that the problem is
with their use of inferior (M$) software /and/ that there is something
they can do to help. It always surprises me that so many people don't
know there is life outside IE & OE.
I'm hoping the card will be my "foot in the door" to talk about FS/OS
alternatives.
Please read the text below. I'd like to get some feedback from the
group, before I print a bunch.
Thx, Dennis Kibbe
