From my BCIS exam; "The recent trend in less rich countries is to adopt free ____ software to avoid high costs.". Apparently it is incorrect to say "poor" now.
That is all.

I'm a weaver of code. an arranger of pixels. and a chemist of foods. I live a life too and this is a collection of things I care about. Maybe you'll care too?
My topics range from life to videogames to rants to computing to caturday. There's more here too.
My friends Andy and Draz have blogs too. You should read them.
My latest Twit would go here, but it seems I can't find it.

Well yeah. You wouldn't want to offend someone who is monetarily challenged.

It has been "incorrect", just as Third World. Actually, I think the PC term is "developing countries". The reason is that they have negative connotations. Plus, "rich" and "poor" is a little ambiguous and subjective.

Draz, I believe that you are a terrible person. Why else would you put a neko in the microwave?
