Nobody said you weren't allowed to use grub1. Also, grub1 will work |
| 20 |
until the end of time, just like OS/2 or MS-DOS or VMS - it isn't like |
| 21 |
software has an expiration date. |

Somebody wrote some software for free that doesn't work the way you |
| 27 |
want it to. How is writing free software dictatorial? Is anybody who |
| 28 |
writes software and does not charge for it ethically bound to write it |
| 29 |
to somebody else's specifications? Even if you buy into "the customer |
| 30 |
is always right" you aren't even their customer. |
