I do not have the money to get the Deadtree versions or there is not a Deadtree version.<br /><br />I use Xiphos for studies when I don't need the books in Libronix, but I have invested too much money in Libronix (saving a ton vs the Deadtree version) to just give it up.<br /><br />Also, I still have some of the old DRM'd iTunes files in my music collection and since in the US there is not a legal way to get around that, Libronix and iTunes has me VBoxing XP on the laptop.<br /><br />The main computer probably will never be fully Linux either for one main reason - Games. Also some of the art programs my wife uses do not run under Linux.Eric, the Mad Monkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06946090554907061887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8742685.post-23585723116397555182009-06-11T06:41:03.533-05:002009-06-11T06:41:03.533-05:00Just wondering, have you tried Xiphos or Bibletime...Just wondering, have you tried Xiphos or Bibletime? They are both free tools based on the sword project. You can get a lot of modules for free at the moment, including the ESV.<br /><br />If you don't need every feature in Libronix all the time, it's worth a look.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8742685.post-68256419401533409872009-06-10T18:22:52.942-05:002009-06-10T18:22:52.942-05:00Johannes,

M$ actually added some nice features to it, but the way they handled backwards compatibility (just Google up "winsxs folder") and file move/copy/erase operations really drove me nuts.<br /><br />I like Ubuntu for the fact that my wife can navigate around in it, the stability of Linux and to use Corporatespeak, the cost of ownership. M$ is killing people (almost as bad as Adobe) with their prices and the M$ Upgrade Trap has become a deal killer for me. Plus I can have some geeky command line fun in Ubuntu (remembers wistfully the old days of DOS and switching memory managers for gaming).Eric, the Mad Monkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06946090554907061887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8742685.post-70260111973168198172009-06-10T06:07:20.295-05:002009-06-10T06:07:20.295-05:00Nice to hear that.
