Animator James Lee on dropping Adobe and switching to Linux

To all my friends here, I should clear some clouds on my post which have been removed by only one flagging (which is very strange).
1st, I never used any abusive word towards any person. I am member of many forums with different usernames and in some at very higher ranks and in some of them as Admin also. So, I know how to behave in a forum.

2nd, I described my opinion about some abusive mega-corporations whose extortion policies are well known. But it seems free speech is not welcomed here.

3rd, I didn’t indulge in any political hatred but gave two examples from history which are known to all educated persons in the world. History cannot be changed. Now if naming some country offends someone, then I cannot help it because history doesn’t care about personal preference. Plus, I have seen some posts here which were more politics oriented.

So, from now on, I will never post any opinion and would not reply to any post voluntarily and only will reply to those posts which will ask for my help though I don’t think it will happen because it seems almost everybody here is more knowledgeable than me.

In reality, they will not change by any chance because they only concerned about their profit and keep their shareholders happy. But, in a dream world, if that would happen, then I might be their greatest supporter of all time. And László, my brother, never ever supress the rebel in you because whatever good this world has seen, whatever good have been done to this world, were the result of the actions of some rebels.

To all my friends here, it is my request, please do not reply to this post because I don’t want that my topic escalates further as it will make the original discussion far away from its originality. I just clarified my stance as this is the first ever instance of supressing free speech in my entire forum-life and if this post also be removed, I will have no regret. Thank you all and have my hearfelt regards. You have helped me a lot. I will never forget that and László, you have a special place in my heart which will remain forever and @nevj, you have also helped me a lot which I will never forget. I love you all.

PostScript is more than just being the basis of pdf. It’s a general page description language, and is used by all GNU programs that can print. They all generate their output as PostScript, then use a separate program that converts PostScript into whatever your printer uses. That way, only one program needs to know how to talk to your specific printer.

Oh yes, absolutely correct.
There was a time when the only way to get printed output from BSD was to have a postscript printer.
I still have one… an OKI Pageprinter with built in postscript. Had it since 1999… it will go forever.
I can send a raw .ps file to it , and it will print .

Not sure when pdf went from printer description file to portable document format. But notice now that its continually developing. Now when the bank sends me a form I click to enter to sign or complete the document. A long way from the original. Not sure adobe still gets revenue from acrobat as they have given away the reader so many times and its years since I bought writer.
