I didn't make everybody a convert, but it sure set a standard. I am free of that particular operating system (I do run a copy of it in a virtual machine, but only when I have to). What we find now is that 99% of the time to be completely compatible with document sharing you need to have access to this company's software. Try doing a uni course where everything is in .doc(x) and .xls, ppt etc, OO doesn't cut it all the time, especially when documents have macros etc.

Anyway, back on topic. I would be lying if I said I had never used the darknet. I don't have an issue using it for ebooks ONLY when I can not purchase due to geographical restrictions a book I am willing and able to buy. That is my personal reasoning and I do not suggest nor support the use of the darknet.
