will make it difficult to get OOo into some of the schools. If its not a
big issue one way or another to you perhaps you will have concern for my
efforts in my market.
At the primary school whre my two young children go, EE are not an issue
either. They have full internet acces in the classes. And are educated
on how to use a computer. And there is social control/watch: children
look at each others behaviour.
Main issues for OOo there:
- not known enough;
- fear that document exchange will give problems;
- Ms market share and techniques.
Besides that, Ms Office costs only very little for primary school in The
Netherlands.
Also (mentioned by others IIRC - as known I did not spell this thread)
the EE in OOo are quite boring compared to what internet, PC-games and
spel consoles offer our youth.
I've not yet looked in the section where educational stuff is offered,
but are there some nice educational games/progs offered, neatly
integrated with the possibilities of OOo?
Never mind: if you are realy sure that putting enery in EE is worth more
than doing something else, I won't block that. In that sence my statment
"I don't" was a bit to rough. Sorry for that. But I gues I've made clear
what my real objections are.
Kind regards,
Cor
