Yes I know this is an off topic discussion but I just feel like I need to
set the record straight.

Cost of Win95+MSWord System:
	Win95		60
	MSWord		160

Cost of Linux+FrameMaker System:
	Linux		0
	FrameMaker	150
			---

Err, me thinks FrameMaker wins hands down. (Please note that this is
using FrameMaker binaries from SCO Unix).
