PsySalIt should be illegal to sell a computer without gnuplot. OS vendors should be required to provide gnuplot. The penalty should be four thousand dollars per user who tries to run gnuplot and finds it is not there.
Seriously it is so annoying not to have gnuplot. I barely even understand how to use 1% of it's features and I still find it invaluable. Do we just not even want to understand the universe anymore? I am considering trying to find a graphing calculator and carrying it everywhere with me for the times I have to use a computer and do not have gnuplot
