The open source world just gets better and better. Pieces are falling into place that complete the picture, like Adobe gving the Mozilla foundation the code to Flash; Real opening up its code and having the Helix player; OpenOffice handling I'd say at least 80% of the Word users; Apache being better web servers; Firefox being at least off to a very good start; Eudora morphing into some kind of open source.
