Hello Paul,

The "liars for hire" computers section it orientated towards commercial

The Director is probably referring to the many Prioperity Unix's, like
SCO, SunOS, HP, A/S series etc etc   Which are nothing like Linux in the
fact that Linux is free.

.. and for that Director, he only sees the beans. His experience with 
"proprietary nature" probably means some aggressive over-hyper
active sales rep, locking his company into another 10 year JOE-BLOGG(r)
Unix(r) license and trying to screw them for every cent they have got.

see ya
