Page 48 a hardware review by James Gray, Product Editor
"Exhibit A
My old laptop was a beast. I bought it as a
desktop replacement with a nice, big display
for doing GIS. Unfortunately, I couldn't get a
cheap copy of ArcGIS, so I do GIS at my uni-
versity's computer lab instead."
Okay, so it is a hardware review, not a software
review, but nevertheless, how is it that an editor of
a linux-focused periodical is using ArcGIS? Perhaps
he is a potential convert to GRASS?

Maybe the work specifically requires the use of ArcGIS, e.g. because
he has to cooperate with other people who are using ArcGIS and any
results need to be reproducible by them down to the last decimal
place.
Network effects suck (unless you're the market leader, in which case
they're wonderful).
