And there are other (untold, unpublicized) stories, too, of how schools are very interested / have taken the plunge / are thriving in FOSS. Hey, maybe we can turn this discussion on its head (and probably stop the flood of me-too, same-here stories): why not y'all folks out there trade in your anecdotes of FOSS adoption (planned, ongoing, successful) in schools? In the PLUG site, perhaps, if not in the list (in a new thread, of course)? Come on, that's a more positive approach, I think, instead of ranting (which, by the way, is sometimes good, I think) and venting steam, etc. And, folks, relax. :) -- Ian Dexter R.
