I hope you had a good weekend! Can you believe August is almost gone? I
sure can't!
We have another poll question suggested by a list member. This week's
poll was submitted by Dave Brown, who hails from New Zealand (correct
me if I'm wrong, Dave!).
Since we've been talking about open source software, a key issue that
follows is just how much influence do tech writers have in that arena.
Here is this week's poll question:
What influence do you have in choosing or buying the tools you use?
* Whatever I want, regardless of cost
* Whatever I want within a budget
* Whatever I want in budget w/formal justification
* I can influence the choice of tools
* I can use approved software or free downloads
* I can use only approved software
* I have no influence over the choice of tools I use
* You mean there is something other than HB pencils?
* Other/None of the above
