I used it in the past but now I use the normal telephone since I got a flatrate. Well, it's untrue that you have a choice. For example, in Germany the tax computation program that companies need runs only on Windows and they *HAVE* to use it and to send it over the internet using it.

Not at all. I never promoted the use of BLOBs, I promoted to get rid of them. But still I'm forced to use them. Same for ICQ: I urge every ICQ user nearly *DAILY* to switch to Jabber since the gateway sucks a lot. I even got rid of ICQ once, but too many still wouldn't switch so now I have it again :(. I prefer free software and open standards, but canceling social contacts because of that is just plain stupid. Most of my real life friends sadly use ICQ and won't switch. I'm glad that I got a telephon flatrate now and don't need to use Skype anymore. - -- Jonathan -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQGVAwUBR1MfcUab4FbSWhEgAQMsXQv+N5k3sQLghdxmFpHeeMZCdN7b9dQNZ9+h BxVZ3b6Pc74lt361INUFdHvzxGOXkQsKXI+hTZXkayopoikTTbY+m34hlGmwwPTH xGK6x5H5O0/Zt27JTBJoPzMnff5HxeYGXpVHPm/bv5P5ZZli4CTQduwa42Bl40LC 3pVJF3GVFNNGO6JuFcfudtFYujPQJE0Rbi2lAs/REspvmnf9ZN9YRK2/hqQfk6Ur UaRohtpr8zmN56k2xdsckhqfbmTBKRszBd6z3uLaTMZ/EgT8bgGCKE2x8nFqRHJf kmUSotRnoyPEbhydE/WzjaAtpxAo6WKNE9EAd4nIiS9FthiRVkSFaig9iZH3+xG9 uVrS3yHuPPxZL8PQ9ptRH+SKbIuK9cEh7OPNi1vffVhUrdH0+ijajEuMl3HeMwUN VDxLQnADAPCXhtyCDFQGk+E02EUNZ8TXdyhuDcp9LsyUqguMp5GEOpxN09ukN7xQ tD7ylEsxjWCTO7eJ7sOkLjPu3I2ngNjb =l3t7 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
