Well, not that it will help ease your concerns, but I worked with Doug in
Denver back in the mid 90's and his quotes plus $3.50 will get you a cup of
coffee at Starbucks - note they charge you extra if you bring in one of his
quotes.
Keep in mind when I worked with Doug he was trying to sell SVR4.2 to PC
users. He failed, so by his reasoning Linux must also. Not hardly.
