I'm with you there Paul<BR>
<BR>
This is a FOSS GIS list so please keep on topic. <BR>
<BR>
As Paul says, employers should not be asking software-specific questions. Government employers especially, seeing that we have an Open Source policy in South Africa and ALL government GIS and other software WILL be FOSS within a few years. <BR>
<BR>
In the same vein, government tenders are not allowed to request specific software. Rather, they have to request a solution. This enables ALL software and solutions providers an opportunity to bid while the FOSS industry grows. Eventually Government tenders will enforce FOSS software requirements.<BR>
<BR>
Please help lobby and advocate FOSS in your environment, especially if you work in Government. Start by sharing GIS tenders and job adverts on this list and acting as watchdogs for tenders and job adverts that name proprietary software - share them on this list so that action can be taken. <BR>
<BR>

So many proprietary software specific questions? Why? Rather ask
around concepts, not functions in specific software packages - those
can be learned.
This is OSGeo right? OS being relevant at some point?
Just checking...
