Exactly. The only reason that we haven't switched to Linux is that we
can't get a version of Framemaker for it :-) We can get compilers,
VLSI design tools, schematic capture, simulators on Linux; everything
but that most mundane tool: a word processor. And how much of their
time do engineers spend writing? 50%, maybe?
