Re: OT: open source visio - dia alternate

Thanks Keller and Calin.
Saw most online versions. Will keep looking some nice ones. Yeah windows VM
is also an option but i am too lazy to fire if up.
The only time i fire up VM is when i want ti connect to esxi/vcenter.
Agreed on format as most people are using Visio. Information in a
proprietary format that others can't read is useless.
