Hi: It is absurd, and one response would be to toss all computers out the
door. There would be little problem replacing each and every one with
another, Open Source, of course. There are so many ways to support linux
based networks, and plenty of linux users' groups that stand ready to assist.
All it would take is one or two enterprising school administrators to pull
it off.
