| The sheer ignorance regarding casual Linux users astounds me to no end. While 
| I'm not interested in pointing fingers, there is a lot of misinformation 
| about the Linux community, and we will help to dispel some of these myths, 
| once and for all.   
| 
| 1. Linux Users Are Cheap. Ah, this is one of my favorites. It seems that 
| Linux users have long since been seen as cheap, despite the fact that so many  
| of them in the States earn up to six figures. First, define cheap? Are we 
| cheap because we choose not to buy brand new everything with every release of 
| our selected OS?
