Recession Sing-A-Long by prize-winning polical cartoonist

Some of us love one of the main virtues of open source software during this cash-strapped depression recession time, namely its free nature. If you are part of the too-big-to-fail companies then you can use bailout money to buy expensive software but if you not receiving tax payer money to run your business, then free open source software and inexpensive online apps can help decrease the cost of your IT.

Try out Ubuntu Linux for your servers and workstations, Metadot Portal Server for your intranet needs, Mojo Helpdesk for your customer support needs and Montastic to monitor the up-time your web sites. If you want to be more efficient and go home work earlier every day, learn how to type twice as fast (literally) using Das Keyboard Ultimate.

These hard times are best described by Walt Handelsman, Pulitzer Prize-winning political cartoonist and animator here.
