I get something of the same problem. The pressures in the UK are for schools to use M$, never mind the costs imposed on kids/parents. This is compounded by the teaching methods, which seem to be of the form "to do /this/ press /that/" (causing a mental lock-in to the exact "taught" software) rather than giving pupils an understanding of the /principles/ involved which would enable use of a broad range of products. Meanwhile my sons still complain that I refuse to buy M$. -- various incoming sites blocked because of spam; see http://www.scottsonline.org.uk for a list and openpgp crypto key (key fingerprint 2ACC 9F21 5103 F68C 7C32 9EA8 C949 81E1 31C9 1364) [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mike Scott, Harlow, Essex, England --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
