God, please lets not start with the free vs. paid thing again; if you don't
want to pay for the server, you can change your card (which, I presume, is
not going to be free) or you can make do with a vga16 display which is a
poor cousin of what linux can really display. And as you already know,
Netscape is going to look real anemic.

Believe me there is no such thing as a free lunch. The hardware has cost
you, the email you sent has cost you, this email you are reading is costing
you; it's just that maybe one does not pay for everything directly, so one
tends to not realise that fact.

What is so wrong about paying for something you need to use ? I truly
believe that the easier it is to attain something, the more one tends to
take it for granted and ignore it. One definitely undervalues it.
