for a man of such importance and influence in the software world, Stallman is incredibly luddite. He doesn't use cell phones either. Here's how he reads web pages: he runs a script that fetches the page and mails it to him. That's paranoia, not sensible reasoning. I used to veneer the guy, now it just makes me sad to think of him.
I take it he tired of making actual contributions in software and now just tirades in his utopic crusade for freedom.
