Are you blind to a great bargain?

Here's a column that I can really relate to, and a topic that I've written about more than once before.

"Computers would be nothing without programs to run on
them, so why do we spend so much time drooling over our hardware --
physical bits and pieces -- and so little over the software that makes
the bits and pieces do what we want them to? And why are we so stingy
about paying for software?" (from Blind to Bargains, Loose Wire)

Read the whole article, it's really interesting!
