Did no one notice the 'I along with many others tried Linux during college' 
she was supposed to have said? Didn't that set alarm bells ringing? Is this 
whole thing not a complete spoof. US brickbat humour?
And who's met a science oriented teacher who know science these days? 95% of 
people working in IT support MS for heavens sake - thats like a car mechanic 
shovelling horse manure....
