My kids have been using OO (& MS Office @ school & their mum's) since age 12, young people are NOT the issue - they are generally flexible and happy to play with technology. You are not the sort of person that I am talking about - by dint of being subscribed to this list to start with - Some people are upset by minor changes that you or I would hardly notice -- these are the problem people. However: you do make the valid point that retraining from MSO 2000 to MSO 2002 is also needed for some people. -- Alain Williams Parliament Hill Computers Ltd.
