posting to you, because for some reason tlug is not recognizing this
address (again).
at my daughters school (neil c. matheson), they had no idea what the
hell i was talking about when i said that i heard they are going to be
using staroffice / openoffice. the computer teacher knew the programs
but he has not been told to implement them, as yet.
not that it matters to my daughter, she has been using OOo/SO for a
number of years.
but other kids have no idea what the hell is going on.
george.
