Yes, using proprietary software is kind of sad but neither Gnash or
Lightspark are really usable right now...Once in a while I test Lightspark
and I am excited with it. How knows if someday it will replace Adobe's
Flash?

Now, I don't need to justify myself to anyone, however, I totally support
free software both using and showing it off to people that are interested in
it; my post here was just aiming practical aspects of using a computer, if
you understand what I mean. What should one do when a college colleague
sends they a damn doc? Should they answer “hey send me in odt or txt or some
pure format!” -- or should they just use OpenOffice or Google Docs to open
it and not bother people with ideology? Open source isn't something that
tears apart good from bad people.

Anyway, software is becoming more and more open nowadays, that's what I
think, so these “ philosophical issues” are hopefully going to disappear.

I'm sorry if I went off-topic.
