I still can't work out why any of the "from the ground up" medical software major redesigns didn't consider a linux development. If it is well known that Australian GPs are shy of paying for things, the savings on the OS, Office, Database, Antivirus, would surely be an enticement to paying th medical software developers proportionally more for their product. jh _______________________________________________ Gpcg_talk mailing list [email protected] http://ozdocit.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/gpcg_talk
