Intellegent workers, he's right we prefer Linux and OSS to Windows LOLTime to beef up the momentum, Incedently why does MS need to ask for funding, they have more money than anyone else.

Oh wait I AM Paranoid :-)Watch out BG is watching you !Seriously though, hes worried about the kids getting GNU/Linux instead of Microsoft. You get the kids, you get the parents you get the grand-parents. Now is the time for us to act and ensure the RDA DONT pup dosh into Microsoft on with the impression that they are getting a good deal for the kids. We must be strong and put good arguments together for the alternatives.As far as Im concerned it makes perfect sense to him.Hes right about one thing though, good education foundation provides intellegent workers of the future. Let make it an education based on free software principals.Tom. -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG Mail majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with "unsubscribe list" in themessage body to unsubscribe.
