I am definitely interested in reading that email. Sounds like the 
desparation is rising in Redmond.

I forget the two gentlemen's names that posted earlier in the general 
mailing list (check the archive: 
http://www.brlug.net/pipermail/general_brlug.net/), but there is an LSU 
Linux Users Group starting at LSU. Does anyone have an update on that?

M$'s attempt to recruit "Student Ambassadors" reminds me of their earlier 
fiasco (http://www.theage.com.au/articles/2002/10/17/1034561262818.html) at 
propaganda. Is there any $$$ involved? What do the "Student Ambassadors" 
get in compensation? A warm feeling?
