The final inspirational message</A></H2> <P>If you decide to take a turn at advocating commercial software ports to Linux, remember that in so doing you're not acting as merely one individual, but as a representative of our entire community. I know we're more honest than Microsoft; I like to think we're less self-satisfied than Apple; I hope we're more generous in helping other users in need than any of the other user communities. Show those qualities to the companies you contact--honesty, humility, and helpfulness--and you stand a good chance of being successful. <HR> <A HREF="Commercial-Port-Advocacy-9.html">Next</A> <A HREF="Commercial-Port-Advocacy-7.html">Previous</A> <A HREF="Commercial-Port-Advocacy.html#toc8">Contents</A> </BODY> </HTML>
