They are doing a study now with a Request for Public Comment until Dec 27th. This means there is a chance, especially if there is a lot of public comment, that New York would standardized on the Open Document format. Wouldn't that be great for all us Linux Users. :) -Sean -- __________________________________________________________________ Sean Dague Mid-Hudson Valley sean at dague dot net Linux Users Group http://dague.net http://mhvlug.org There is no silver bullet.
