    Would you entrust mission-critical business operations to obsolete,
    unsupported software?

    Did you not notice that before the checkout, you can choose the
    /CorelDRAW Graphics Suite 2026/ as a one time purchase for $859?

    That?s quite expensive, if it?s just a hobby ...

    Yes, let's stick to shells.

    It always amuses me to see the lengths to which those caught in the proprietary-software trap go out of their way to deny that they are in
    any way trapped ...

    I don't see any obvious trap in

    do you read the "ldr1u@" and "1prln@" runes differently? Do you have
    stats in /detect traps/? Do you suppose these runes are C tokens? per-
    haps from tcsh?

    Did you know you can find my name in the list of contributors in the
    tcsh sources? Did I just walk you into a trap, where you thought I
    only used "proprietary software" with my name already in the list of
    tcsh sources?

    How do you like tcsh? I think it's a really neat shell for interactive
    use!
