Dumb ass.  If that were true then there wouldn't be the opportunity to 
use an alternate, which was what my post was about.  People use 
Photoshop instead of Gimp because it works a hell of a lot better and 
more reliably than Gimp, or so the people using Photoshop who have tried 
Gimp say.

almost any WP made today, including OO.  The broadband comment is 
totally looney, too.
