I have a bright and sadistic idea. ;) How about emphasising and mentioning in BOLD letters in the school entries, that every school which sends in an entry should also give a declaration that the software was NOT made using illegaly-copied software, i.e. it should either be made using licensed software or using Free tools. ;P If this trend catches on, I am sure that we would be able to have the whole of delhi using Linux by the middle of the next year. ;) - Sandip ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Sandip Bhattacharya Puroga Technologies Work: sandip <@> puroga.com, http://www.puroga.com Play: sandipb <@> bigfoot.com, http://www.sandipb.net ------------------------------------------------------------------------
