Sigh...well, it was only a matter of time, I guess, before an M$ troll would show up. Children should NOT be learning 'M$' ANYTHING! for 'employment purposes'. This is an education project, not an employment project. As a teacher, I am much, much more in tune with teaching concepts, such as word processing, etc., rather than a product of a corrupt megacorporation. (and if you want lots and lots of evidence, references, etc. for that, please feel free to email me and/or visit my blog at cdneducation.blogspot.com). And $3 per user is too much. $2 per user is too much. $1 per user is too much. Sense a pattern here? ;-). Free, with source code would be ideal. Does M$ have that? No? Does M$ support the four freedoms? No? Well, then M$ doesn't fit the spec. Too bad. Bye-bye. (And sorry for the rant everyone. This is a developers conference, and it is evident that the M$ poster doesn't understand what that means. As mentioned, any poster who wants to discuss education, philosophy, etc. email me personally, and stop cluttering up a dev conference with such drivel. My apologies to all here.) </end rant> ;-) ____________________________________________________________________________________ Be a better sports nut! Let your teams follow you with Yahoo Mobile.
