   The thing with Open Source is, you learn to use a range of tools.   
      
   Of course, the costs do add up. One tool might only be $0, but then you   
   realize that’s $0 *per seat*, and the following month you discover you   
   have to pay another $0 to keep using the tool, and so on every month, or   
   even every week. Pretty soon you find you’re paying $00, or even $000 if   
   you don’t keep your costs under control. It’s just too tempting to add   
   more pieces of software to do more different jobs.
