The application in question is Derive from Texas Instruments. Her
math teacher insists on it and all her class-mates use it. It
doesn't run under wine.
Until I receive a new set of installation CDs from HP, her Windows
XP stays disconnected. With the new installation disks at hand, I
will install XP, Then Open Office, Mozilla, 5 antivirus, 3
trojan/worm/spyware/ad-ware killers and 2 firewalsl (all downloaded
and burned from my linux box). Then, maybe, it will be connected.
Until then, my daughter uses her account on my Linux box.
She herself is now highly motivated to stay off the internet with
her Windows XP. Reason : We reviewed the logs from the various
"cleaning" applications. They showed no less than 1543 "dubious"
files. In one week.
We don't like flies, so we don't put a carcass in our living room
and then open the Windows.
