Hello Brahman and Joan...
Agree with all ur statement !!!!
I think no more discussion required on this topic as
we were already discussed a lot on same...
Now this is time to take some action....
Let's meet somewhere and try to find sokution of this
asap....Let's go and meet this college and give them
idea of use of OPEN SOURCE - Linux OS...
then only they will come to know about it....
No use with sharing thoughts offline...Let's do some
action....
thanks
regards....Naresh (Group Moderator - FutureOS_Linux)
