is it time for deadhorse+flamewar at sunhelp yet? 

btw, on the kivio topic, http://dot.kde.org/994334211/994365973/ seems to
have some tales of building K desktop and kivio on Solaris. It's amazing
what google can do these days.

I still use Visio on Win2k because it works for what I need to do on the
rare occasions where I need a Visio document for Windows users. My time is
valuable enough that I would rather spend 20 minutes creating a document
rather than an hour or two crying about having to use the OS that half of
my company uses. 
	On the other hand, I do put a fair bit of effort into reminding my
Windows users/document generators that half of the company does not have a
Windows logo on their start bar, and maybe sending a notepad file in Word
2002 format isn't the best way to communicate. I thwapped a "Senior VP"
about that a few weeks ago, politely of course, and he sent his plain text
message back out in regular ascii.
