Looks good Al

A couple of things:

1. Goverments - Governments
2. ... for free - implying that it is financially free whereas it is
intellectually free and typically gratis (financially free). In the
context of OSS free and gratis hold two distinct meanings. Maybe:

You too could be using the gratis software used by Governments, Schools,
NASA, ISP's etc

Hi all,

I'm new to this newsgroup format/procedure so please don't shout at me if I
get the format wrong.

Just a quick word on the poster idea. I think the original "free" wording is
better from a "lay-persons" point of view. If the point of the poster is to
attract people then I can't think of a better word than free. Call me thick
if you like but in my mind "gratis" has to be translated to "free", "free"
is already "free".
