I stand correct on the ages here. In fact Cathedral and the Bazaar was last
updated on the 11 September 2000. The original edition was first presented on
the 21 May 1997. Thanks Fred Ridder

point I am trying to make with this reference is that works such as these can
help us think differently. That has been my experience.
