Well I think there is a saying that "you have to choose your battles".
I am only a small fish here. I installed Open Office on every computer
here at own risk an one of the teacher was pretty annoyed by the Open
Office Writer program. We do mostly graphical work with the computers
using Photoshop a lot. What I try to do on the school closing is to
get some of the old computers to the Rudolf Steiner School where my
son is. Here I am proved to say they are in the middle of changing
everything over to Linux (ubunto) and I have been a part of that
process.
